  • Advances in immunotherapies for cancer have spawned new treatments that trigger the immune system to attack the tumor, delivering dramatic benefits to some patients with advanced cancers. Arlene Sharpe and Gordon Freeman share insight from decades of research into pathways that may help lead to a cure.

    Any studies with pseudoprogression vs hyper progression with immunotherapy?

    Make it affordable for everyone and yes i also mean the poorest of poor and not just another financial worry and stress that will end up giving you that cancer back.

      Here in Sweden we have it "affordable for everyone". That's why I'm still alive today.

    The tumours are a way of protecting the human body from any possible malignant cancer cells held in containment. And this is why doing a biopsy can be so dangerous that would release malignancy into the bloodstream. This would create a condition of malignancy where the cancer cells set up shop all over the body. Cancer is a metabolic condition of the body where the innate immune system is compromised and allowing cancer to take hold over a matter of years and not months or weeks as the standard of care still believes in. A lot of patients that are suffering from Type 2 Diabetes is more prone to getting diagnosed with cancer as the injured pancreas organ is not producing enough insulin and enzymes to deactivate cancer cells. Hypoxia or lack of cellular oxygen will also predispose cancer cells to proliferate. Also, Cancer Cells do not like internal temperatures of high temperatures like what a hot sauna will achieve.

      👍 Also, listen to Drs Bessel Van der Kolk and Gabor Maté who show how the immune system affected by stress and trauma. The Medical establishment needs to look at the whole mind-body connection!

    Disappointing that Gordon Freeman is working in cancer research and not theoretical physics
