Watch: Are We Getting Closer to Curing Cancer?

Patients in trials who did not respond to any other treatment were put into remission or cured with the treatment, which will be the first of its kind.

An FDA Panel Just Approved A Treatment That Genetically Alters Your Own Cells

This will be the first treatment that genetically alters the patient's own cells to battle leukemia.

In 2016 alone, 58,320 people in the U.S. died from leukemia. This new development could increase a patients' chance of survival
Current treatment methods can increase a patient's risk of secondary cancer after remission. This Engineered T-Cell approach has not shown to be carcinogenic

Thanks to genetic engineering, the cancer totally vanished.

Hard Science

Researchers have developed a cancer therapy that combines drugs to fix pathways in DNA and block cancer's repair mechanisms.
The therapy could lead to the development of more effective breast cancer treatments, a disease roughly 250,000 more American women face every year.
