Genetically engineered immune cells may have helped two patients with advanced prostate cancer to fight the disease, preliminary results suggest. Prostate cancer kills more than 28,000 men in the United States alone each year. Although many patients have their prostate glands removed, the cancer can spread rapidly to other parts of the body, usually the bones. Current drug treatments, such as male hormone suppression therapy, often fail after just a few months. (source: nature.com)
