Implantable cancer vaccine
recruit patient's own immune cells "on site" to kill cancer

Hunter's comment
Treating cancer is killing the cancer cells as well as the patient too. The treatments available now with us is limited and have a lot of risks.
This licensed medicine method will allow the patient to have some painless treatment without more side effect to his body.
Most therapeutic cancer vaccines available today require doctors to first remove the patient’s immune cells from the body, then reprogram and introduce them back into the body. The Wyss Institute’s initial approach uses a small disk-like sponge about the size of a fingernail that is made from FDA-approved polymers. The sponge is implanted under the skin and is designed to recruit and reprogram a patient’s own immune cells “on site,” instructing them to travel through the body, home in on cancer cells, then kill them.

thank you mod!
Well, there are countless of people who have cancer and it is not easy to fight with them because of the chemotherapy that will kill the good and the bad cells in your body. This is another method to kill the cancer cells in the patient and hoping that this will continues so that cancer people will not suffer again.
Cancer is the most dangerous disease in the world. Still this is an unsloved disease and thousands of people expire annually from around the globe. I am a bit surprised to see this app which seems a very interesting and problem solving:
This is the 1st innovation which seems a better step in medical science. I bet and also I am pretty sure now we will get the solution of cancer soon. Thanks a lot for searching and sharing a great hunt. Good day
quite a unique hunt but indeed informative yep only those who are suffering from this disease can understand the real pain and we all know the side effects of cancer treatment. so if this would help in treatment and as your post is describing with fewer side effects then every hospital should adopt this ASAP
If this is marketable for everyone, it would be a game changer. But I think the government would not allow this kind of scientific research or something. Because it would lose some of the jobs working in a Hospital. I hope this thing reaches to every place in the earth I guess.
So, the headline had me thinking this was the ultimate hunt - all others are fighting for 2nd place.
But...whilst this is impressive tech, and I believe one of the most promising ways of fighting cancer, the video is from 2014. So, it's not exactly new. I wonder where we are now with this solution?
The idea of fighting cancerous cells in this way seems great, but if it were as successful as it appears in the promo video, I'm sure it would be the standard treatment by now.
I think they're on the right track, delivering tumour fighting cells/drugs into the body and let the body fight the cancer, but it obviously must need more work to get the ultimate result!
Very promising, though! A great hunt :)
This is an exciting find! The idea of treating cancer "on-site" in a way that won't compromise the patient's immune system or expose the patient to harmful chemicals is worth watching out for. I also like how the vaccine itself can also serve as a diagnostic tool for auto-immune diseases.
Hope the researchers can progress beyond clinical trials and succeed in developing a vaccine that can be used for mass production. Great find!
Though I've already studied the basics of genetic engineering but I got a chance to dig it deeper when I was selected for a Steem contest by @fulltimegeek and it was a very informative experiment. During that study, I came across the same solution what this product is proposing. Thanks for refreshing my info by sharing this hunt. It's excellent piece of work.
It's great to see engineering taking new approaches to cancer vaccines, especially with the rising of the global cancer epidemic. Nice hunt!
This is a great breakthrough it will help many patients to live a normal and healthy life we should spread this news so i am gonna share it on my facebook wall
Technology is developing fast but at the same time people are becoming more and more victims of various deceases. Cancer is one decease still people are struggling to fight with. Thanks to effects of creators like this now cancer patients will have hope. Implantable vaccine that will fight with cancer cells.
Nice hunt
Cancer is the killer of our modern civilization. Though some treatments are now available. And this is another innovation. It will be helpful for the patients.
There is no can eradicate this problem of cancer. I think this vaccine will only work for sometime and can get less pain for cancer but this a dangerous disease that no one can cure it. The idea is very good and helpful too.
Any potential breakthroughs in cancer research are great to hear. Sounds promising.
If this project got success it can bring new era in cancer treatment. The regular treatment process is very painful and have lots of side effects.
This new medication can really help patient to show new life. Though it's on the first stage but I think as they are already started to implement it, this medicine tech will go further.
Thanks for sharing. Great hunt!
Wow! This is a better and a more quicker way to tackle this maniac disease. There is a saying that obedient is better than sacrifice. With early detection, treatment of cancer with this fascinating treatment will help a lot and of course with less side effect. Nice hunt
Science has developed a lot in modern time. The last example is Implantable Cancer Vaccine. Cancer is a fatal disease but day by day our scientist invented lot of medicine or treatment which can treated cancer treatment. Had soft to this scientist who created Implantable Cancer Vaccine.
In today's world, Cancer is one of the deadliest disease.Millions of people dying for this disease.This "Implantable Cancer Vaccine" recruits one own immune cell .So this is very happy news for us.I hope this vaccine will make a huge difference in Cancer field.Hope for the best. And thanks @sabari18 For this great hunt.
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
thankGod now cancer can e treated easily with this vaccine May god save everyone from cancer
Of course you have to appreciate that you have presented a very important technology an app to us that many of us do not know. We should know that if we learn something about this important part of our body through cancer, it will be of benefit to us.
Well never heard about this innovation as far as i know chemotherapy used world wide to cure cancer and if this product works as it promises then it surely rocks and will help save life's of billions of peoples around the world. Great Hunt
