It sounds fantastic, too good to be true which generally means disappointment around the corner. But who knows?

 

The treatment blocks a protein called CD47.

Cancer cells produce more CD47 than healthy tissue that tricks the body’s immune system into ignoring the bad cells.Scientists were able to build an antibody that blocked CD47, allowing the body’s natural defense system to attack and kill the bad cells.Initial results have been remarkable.Doctors implanted human tumors in mice and then used the new breakthrough.In each case, the treatment allowed the mice’s own defense system to kill breast, ovary, colon, bladder, brain, liver and prostate tumors.
