A cure for all cancers

<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/4423847.stm">news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/engla...423847.stm</a> Cure for cancers 'in five years' Scientists in Manchester say a cure for all types of cancer could be available on the NHS within five years. The world's first patient trials in a technique which genetically engineers cells will take place at the city's Christie Hospital later this year. The treatment - gene-modified t-cell therapy - could replace more intrusive treatments like chemotherapy. The cells are fitted with a "tracker" device to kill cancer cells before being injected back into the patient. Professor Robert Hawkins, clinical director of Medical oncology at the hospital, says the initial results of lab tests have been "spectacular". In the lab we have seen spectacular results in lung tumours and in the brain. It's remarkable Professor Robert Hawkins More traditional treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy destroy both healthy and cancerous cells. The new system makes the body naturally seek out and kill tumours by boosting the infection-fighting t-cells. The body does not naturally have enough of these cells to combat huge tumours, and cancer cells often develop protective mechanisms to avoid them being recognised by the body as a disease. Doctors will take blood samples from cancer patients to extract t-cells. They then genetically modify the t-cells, attaching an antibody which works like a tracking device to enable the t-cells to zone in on cancer tumours. The t-cells are then multiplied a thousand-fold over a two-week period and injected back into the patient's body. Professor Hawkins is appealing for funds to build a lab to genetically engineer t-cells, so that the treatment can be available for patients that cancer drugs, chemotherapy and radiotherapy have already failed. Star's appeal He said: "In the lab we have seen spectacular results in lung tumours and in the brain. It's remarkable. "Given as an injection, it could get rid of a widespread range of tumours." About £250,000 is needed through the Christie Appeal to pay for nurses with specialist training, research doctors and equipment. Earlier this week, the hospital launched a new fundraising appeal backed by BBC One's Dr Who star, Christopher Eccleston, who was born in Salford. Those wanting to give to the Christie Appeal can call the 24-hour donation line on 0800 1954321.

Heres how we can treat cancer effectively ; HIFU : A breakthrough in cancer treatment HIFU cancer treatment A ground-breaking new cancer treatment, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, (HIFU) is now available for private patients. Unlike most cancer treatments HIFU involves no surgery, has negligible side effects and requires no lengthy hospital stay. For many years low intensity ultrasound has been used for imaging and it has been known that high power, high intensity ultrasound can affect human cells, but despite various attempts to harness this to treat cancer none have been successful. But now the challenge of how to kill cancer cells without harming the healthy ones has been mastered. HIFU works by focussing the ultrasound in such a way that the energy level is only sufficient to harm cells at the focal point. The cancer is looked at with a high quality but low power ultrasound scanner giving the doctor a continuous view of the tumour during treatment. This high power ultrasound beam is focused on a point within the tumour to heat the cancer cells to a temperature where they die. "...an exciting new technology" A Consultant Surgeon at the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust, a world-leading healthcare and medical training institution, said: “HIFU is a very exciting new technology that may lead to the rewriting of text books on cancer treatments in the future”. Oxford is leading the Western World in the introduction of HIFU treatments for cancer and the team have been using HIFU to treat cancer for some time using the new “HAIFU Model JC” from Ultrasound Therapeutics Limited. The Oxford team have initially concentrated on cancers in the kidneys and liver but treatments in the Far East where over 8,000 patients have successfully been treated for a variety of tumours affecting the pancreas, bone and soft tissue shows that treatment of other cancers is also possible. HIFU is a safe, reliable, versatile means of treatment with minimal side effects and because it is a non-invasive treatment there is no external scarring and consequently less recovery time. The cancers are killed without the need for radiotherapy or chemotherapy, though these are recommended for affected areas that cannot be treated with HIFU. "I’m enjoying a dialysis-free lifestyle" John Madden had a tumour removed from his right kidney with HIFU. In 2004 Mr Madden’s consultant told him that if he had the cancer removed by surgery he would be on dialysis for the rest of his life. He decided to be treated with HIFU instead: “The procedure was really simple and since my operation eighteen months ago my MRI scans have shown that the tumour is no longer a problem and I’m enjoying a dialysis-free lifestyle.” A general anaesthetic is used during treatment to ensure that the patient remains still and one night in hospital is required. Occasionally some tablet pain relief is needed afterwards and sometimes an effect similar to sunburn is experienced, but this soon disappears. For patients with a localised cancer, HIFU may be all the treatment they need, in other cases it may form part of a series of treatments. HIFU is not currently funded by the NHS, but having received CE approval, HIFU can be used to treat private patients. Ultrasound Therapeutics Ltd manufactures and markets ultrasound-based equipment for therapeutic applications and are currently carrying out clinical trials on new cancer therapies at the Churchill Hospital, Oxford with HAIFU equipment. -------------------------------------------------- Note that this is only currently available to private patients

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>...usually get killed, or at least run out of the country. Hoxsey. Rife. Reich. Clark. So much money is made "trying" to cure cancer that there is no reason to cure the cash cow. --MaryK<hr></blockquote> I'm a huge proponent of exploring every possible alternative to conventional medicine, but in the case of Reich, your statements are exaggerations. Reich died in prison of heart failure at age sixty. He was imprisoned, perhaps wrongfully, on trumped-up charges of violating the Food and Drug act. He was not "killed". He also did not "cure" cancer, but claimed to have an alternative treatment for it. Cancer has not been cured, sadly.

Perhaps it is better to say "...people who cure people of cancer, who are not part of the Big Pharma conglomerate, are often ruthlessly suppressed in one fashion or another." So, "cancer" in general is not cured, but individual cases are cured by novel means which are not easily controlled by Big Pharma. You will know if they work if clinics are set up outside the USA, and rich people who have cancer go there and come back without cancer.
