For the first time, scientists can cure advanced melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer using the patient’s own blood. The U.S. researchers extracted immune cells in the blood of the patient, cloned in the laboratory and reintroduced to the individual. According to scientists at Cancer Research Center Fred Hutchinson in Seattle, two years after treatment of 52 patients remained free of disease.

The research, published in The New England Journal of Medicine (Journal of Medicine New England) has been described as an extraordinary development. The patient’s immune system plays a significant role in the fight against cancer. And for a long time research has focused on ways to improve this response to attack tumors. The patient had been diagnosed at stage 4 melanoma, in which death occurs in a few months. The tumor, caused by sunburn, started as a mole on the skin and spread to a lymph node in the groin and into the lungs.
