Experimental strategy uses immune system to kill melanoma tumors

Scientists find new way to drum out skin cancer

The proper immune system of the body can fight the mortal melanomist of cancer if the scientists can reverse the switch of “OFF” system with “top,” two preliminary studies suggest. The scientists a long time sought with turn to the top of the cells of disease-combat of the immune system to fight the melanomist.

New work addresses the other side of the coin of currency, the cells of standardization which normally maintain disease-to fight cells in control. By closing these cells preventing with far, the scientists hope to allow the cells of disease-combat to assemble a continuous attack on cancer. Two new studies of this strategy were reported this week in Prague at a European meeting of research on cancer.
