Cancer Therapy With 100% Cure Rate

Increasing rates of cancer worldwide, because of genetic, lifestyle factors, as well as industrial farming, food manufacturing and processing and pollution, etc. There are a myriad of reasons for cancer incidence increase, but the aforementioned and many others are at play in a complex world.

It is rare that the war against cancer has such promising progress. Sometimes we find something that is just amazing.

Cancer, as we know, is not only a single disease, also, depending on the type of cancer you have, the outcomes of treatments can be very different. The treatments differ too. With cancer, the devil is in the detail and the detail is the devil.

Immunotherapy

There has been a huge shift in recent times for treating and curing cancer. Immunotherapy is all the buzz. Now what is this ‘immunotherapy’? In simple terms, it is a type of cancer treatments that helps our immune systems to combat cancer. Traditional cancer therapies have focussed on killing the cancer, but the collateral damage has been our own body defences and other healthy cells.

Cancer is an evil ninja

One thing that seems to be consistent with cancer and the way it plays out in the body is that cancer is like an evil ninja. They trained ninjas to specialise in unconventional warfare, namely infiltration, sabotage, and assassination. Those were key tools of the ninja. Does that sound familiar when thinking of cancer?

But how can we compare insidious cancer to some stealth assassin? We can because the modus operandi is the same. Cancer gets into our cells and ‘blends’ in, so it infiltrates undetected. It then sabotages our cells and the cells kill the healthy cells around them, the ultimate assassin that turns one’s body against itself.

So, just like exposing a ninja, and bringing him into the ligt to defeat him, we need to expose these cancerous infiltrators. And once exposed, we can releas our body’s defence weapons on them.

We cannot defeat what we cannot see after all. That would be like ‘trying to handcuff the wind, or trying to put thunder in jail,’ to borrow a phrase from ‘Mindhorn.’

Once exposed, our body defence forces can do what they do, that is destroy the intruder, kill off that cancer. That is what immunotherapy does: it helps unmask the infiltrating assassin and exposes the assassin to the firing squad.

Current Drugs hurt the body

With many cancer drugs, they take out bad guys, but the problem is there is a more blanket type bombing of the cancer, killing vital healthy cells, and sometimes the cancer treatment can worsen the condition of the person, because the treatment weakens the body’s defences too.

When we enlist treatments that act as snipers rather than rocket launchers, we target the destruction to the assassins, protecting our own forces, and these new immunotherapy rugs do just that. They have limited or no effect on healthy cells. By unmasking the assassin's cells, the body's defences can home in on them and destroy them, sniper-like.

Enter the assassin of the assassins

In certain colorectal cancers, there is a gene mutation or ‘assassin’ that prohibits the cells from repairing their DNA, and so the cells become corrupted. This corruption causes the down regulation of programmed cell death and makes the corruption invisible to the white blood cells, which are part of the body’s armed forces. Now this new immunotherapy drug stops the corruption and allows the white blood cells to see the corruption and target it. It exposes the corruption to the light.

“What’s so remarkable here is that it completely eliminated the cancer. The tumours just vanished,” study author and oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre Dr Andrea Cercek said.

Cercek said that this new therapy has shown so much promise with colorectal cancer, that they are looking to try it on stomach and pancreas and bladder cancer too.

With a 100% success rate so far, may all who do this important work be successful. I found this very encouraging.

For those wanting to know the drug, it is called Dostarlimab, they market it as ‘Jemperli’ in Australia.
