A new immunotherapy gel helps cancer survival
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cancer researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Massachusetts have found that implanting an immunotherapy gel after surgery for breast cancer may significantly boost survival levels.<\/p>\n

This promising approach, which could be used in other cancers too, is important because some 40% of people who have had a tumour removed experience its return within 5 years.<\/p>\n

In the study, reported in Science Translational Medicine <\/em>Feb 2018,<\/em> the researchers loaded a half-inch gel disc (made of a sugar naturally found in the body) with drugs that activate dendritic cells<\/strong>. Dendritic cells are part of the innate immune system \u2013 the body’s first line defence against pathogenic intruders and diseased cells like cancer.<\/p>\n

Immunotherapy drugs activate dendritic cells, which “train” T-cells to attack cancer<\/h3>\n

The hydrogel, placed in the space left where the tumour was removed, releases the drug over an extended period of time. When the dendritic cells are activated, they train T cells \u2013 part of the adaptive part of the immune system \u2013 to attack cancer cells anywhere in the body, including at the site of the original tumour.<\/p>\n

The study was conducted on mice, but there are plans to extend the study to patients because the animal results were startling. The cancer was eradicated in 65%<\/strong> of gel-treated mice, against only 10% of control, non-treated mice.<\/p>\n

Immunotherapy for cancer<\/h3>\n

The gel appears to work against breast and skin cancers. The online report in Science Translational Medicine, <\/em>referenced below, explains the approach.<\/p>\n

Normal cells mutate on a daily basis. But our immune system usually recognizes and destroys these mutated cells before they can multiply into a tumour. Unfortunately, though, some mutated cells can \u2018hijack\u2019 the system designed to kill them. If this happens, the cancerous cells become virtually undetectable, therefore free to multiply and form tumours.<\/p>\n

Immunotherapy aims to enhance our immune response to recognise these hijacker cancer cells.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis kind of therapy has shown incredible potential to treat various forms of cancer, such as melanoma, kidney cancer, head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, non-small cell lung cancer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Immunotherapy\u00a0\u2013 which takes many forms, of which the gel is one of the newest \u2013 may be the most promising approach in the battle against cancer.<\/p>\n

Natural health supplements like 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans can be used alongside drugs in immunotherapy to further prime the immune system. See http:\/\/www.uni-vite.com\/immunoshield\/beta-glucans-and-immunotherapy\/<\/a><\/p>\n
