Carl June : A "living drug" that could change the way we treat cancer


Carl June·TEDMED 2018
A “living drug” that could change the way we treat cancer
Summary
The story tells us a completely new way the world treats cancer.
It’s because, we know, our immune system doesn’t work in the cancer situation, though, the new way put receptors and CAR T cells into a body that has cancer and it seems to become able to fight against cancer with our natural immune system. There are many types of cancer but it can’t be cured in the past, though, little by little, the ways are researched.
The study took thirty years. It’s great and the speaker says that it’s sheer coincidence. I think that for that, the taught study have to be continued.
In Japan, the way has been just accepted this year in February. Especially, for blood cancer of young people, it’s going to be used first and insurance coverage will be thought.

At last, the thing that is given up, our immune system can’t cure, is changing. That’s why it's said to be a living drug.
