Hispanic populations don't succumb to prostate cancer as much
as others, conceivably because of a diet that has less dairy.

May seem a little off topic.
The bat genome may contain useful information as they're so
resilient against cancer.

I tend to browse the web, quite often I watch a few movies, other times I
look for interesting articles like these; well interesting to some readers of
this forum.

Using your own immune systems T cells, after genetic enhancement, to destroy
cancer cells.

One company that has run, with only partial success, phase one trials is
Poseida Therapeutics .
They encountered a fatality with one of their test subjects, the others
didn't exhibit any untoward symptons.

A possible improvement is implied by this approach, Co-LOCKR.

Don't get over optimistic.

Also one of possibly many considerations , is mentioned in this article.
