A radical new cancer treatment inspired by patients who seem to ‘shrug off’ the disease could be tested next year.
The technique uses potent cancer-killing cells from people with the strongest immune systems.
These ‘neutrophil’ cells – which form part of the body’s first line of defence – are then multiplied millions of times and injected into cancer patients.
They are believed to be a key reason why rare individuals spontaneously reject lethal cancers and seem to have ‘miracle recoveries’.
