    Progress against Leukemia

    "For this study, 14 of 16 adult patients achieved complete remission after their T cells were genetically engineered so that they could focus on eradicating cancer.

    The patients' median age was 50, and they were all on the brink of death when they entered the trial, having relapsed or discovered that chemotherapy was no longer working."

    Not going to be practical for god knows how long, but still something.

    Its interesting. It doesn't give a simple solution, but it does highlight the fact that cancer does go right to the very makeup of what makes us what we are.

    Its kind of sickening to think about, but this is still a step in the right direction.
