(HealthNewsDiget.com) – A child’s immune system is often no match for cancer cells. But NFCR Project Director Laurence J.N. Cooper, M.D., Ph.D., and his research team in Houston have recently found a way to strengthen the immune system’s ability to fight off cancer. With this new technique, Dr. Cooper’s team is able to genetically re-program a patient’s T cells—the best cells for fighting cancer. These re-engineered T cells can detect a specific target molecule that sits on certain leukemia and lymphoma cells. Once locked onto their targets, the re-engineered T cells will mount a full-blown attack to eliminate those cancer cells – which may help save the child’s life. Click here to learn more about what this means for cancer patients and how you can help.
