British scientists have discovered a cell that can "fight" cancer

The British scientist's accidental discovery of a cell capable of eradicating cancer may be the most historic moment in the medical world.

Oncologist George Astras explains that this cell could be the beginning of new cancer treatments.

"It is very possible to do it and I will say it again that a similar revolution has taken place in oncology with immunotherapy. "It's a kind of cell of our immune system; we know that our immune system can easily kill cancer, so our immune system can fight cancer cells that we know are multiplying uncontrollably in our body."

The "T" cell

The so-called "T" cell that seems to have important anti-cancer properties, according to oncologist George Astra, exists in every organism. For some it is activated and works very well. Recognizes which cells have been infected with cancer and neutralizes them.

"It will touch the cancer cell, recognize that it is not a normal cell and kill it. This discovery shows us that this so-called T cell can recognize the good from the bad cells and only hit the bad ones. "What the study will show is in which people it is activated, in which cancers it will work best and so a series of new studies and new therapies will emerge from it."

From the first research that has been done on the subject, it seems that the T cell can kill cancers of the skin, blood, intestine, breast, bone, prostate, ovaries, kidneys and cervix.

George Astras - Oncologist
"They tried it on these cancers first and now it will be tested on others in some fifty clinical trials. We are waiting to see similar results and we hope ".

Research on the most optimistic discovery by British scientists continues with the first trials in end-stage cancer patients scheduled for November 2020.
