Yesterday I saw this article in the Daily Mail. Professor Justin Stebbing is a consultant oncologist at Imperial College London. Here is a quote from his article that gives us hope that this disease will eventually be curable with immunotherapy drugs.
"The war against cancer may not be over,
but a major battle has been won. If the promise of these results is
fulfilled, there really is a chance that in 30 years’ time the war
against this terrible disease will be in its final stages."
30 years seems a long way off! Cancer survival rates have improved in the last 40 years and cancers are being detected earlier. So the the idea that this could become a reality within a generation is amazing!
