recruit patient's own immune cells "on site" to kill cancer
I am skeptical but if this is indeed tested to be effective then it is much better than chemotherapy. My questions though are, how long does it have to stay implanted in the body? Why? Because a "foreign" object as big as a fingernail implanted into the body is not neglible. It is also painful. So how long will the patient endure?
Please go to the site just read all about the 'vaccine' it will take 2 mins reading. then ask any questions if you have. Thank you for your nice review. @macoolette
It's funny when I already asked my questions and I am being asked to read. Thanks anyway.
The implant is a biodegradable polymer scaffold containing growth factors and components of each patient’s tumors.
The implantable cancer vaccine is currently being used in Phase I clinical trial in collaboration with the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
We are implanting steels nuts and bolts in the patient's body, that foreign object is considered as a helping object and it is not giving any problem to the patient. This foreign object is not shot with a gun, it is placed in proper place by the experts who know how to do, how long to keep it, and it differs on the situation.
And it is not funny to read webpage to understand things well. Have a great day. @macoolette
