A simple injection developed is curing cancer with a staggering 70-80% success rate! ✅✅
The treatment consists of a single injection of the modified cells - a difference to traditional radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
The treatment has been used in the United States with a 70-80 per cent success rate after recently being approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The cost, however, is staggeringly high at about half a million dollars per treatment.

HOW CAR T-CELL THERAPY WORKS
The treatment removes some of the patient's immune system T-cells and runs them through a laboratory to intensify the immune system's cancer fighting ability.
The T-cell's role is to hunt down and destroy abnormal cells.
The laboratory process engineers the T-cells to sprout receptors which make identifying cancer cells much easier.
The modified cells are injected back into the patient and results are usually seen within a month.
Some patients have experienced remarkable recoveries.
So far the treatment only works on cancers in the blood but is being tested on other types of cancers.
