Cloned immune cells are able to defeat melanoma

With the cloned cells of the immune system of the patient, for the first time, scientists have cured skin cancer, reports the BBC. The study involved a 52-year-old, the skin cancer (melanoma) had. The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. U.S. researchers have cells of the immune system of people who are cloned to fight cancer cells. Makes copies of five billion cells, which they transplanted their patients. The immune system plays a crucial role in the fight against cancer and the doctors in this way seeks to strengthen the body's ability to fight cancer. The experiment gone in two months the patient tumor, and after two years of a man remains healthy. According to scientists, the transplanted cells remain in the body for months after treatment. If further studies to gain the same result is positive, thanks to a cloned human melanoma cells of the immune system, experts say.
