Recent years immunotherapy has been quite successful.
Cancers have been genetically sequenced and have unique sequences not found in healthy cells.
Question is how to specifically attack the cancer cells. In chemo both healthy cells and cancer cells are destroyed causing so much side effects.
In immunotherapy our body immune system is trained to kill the cancer cell. Although this works the immune system is not so predictable and slight mutations can evade the immune system. Some people the immune system don't respond.
This new method to target specific sequence in cancer looks promising and already has remarkable results for certain cancers.
