(Providence Cancer Institute of Oregon via AP) (Uncredited)In a novel experiment, a woman with advanced pancreatic cancer saw her tumors dramatically shrink after researchers in Oregon turbocharged her own immune cells, highlighting a possible new way to someday treat a variety of cancers. It’s the first time this sort of treatment has worked in a very difficult-to-treat cancer type,” said Dr. Josh Veatch of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, who wasn’t involved with the experiment. T cells are key immune soldiers, able to kill off diseased cells -- but too often cancer evades them. They add an artificial receptor to patients' T cells so the immune fighters can recognize a marker on the outside of blood cancer cells, and attack. Wilkes knew researchers were testing immunotherapy to fight different hard-to-treat tumors, and a biopsy showed a specific mutation was fueling her cancer.
