It’s an amazing story alright, but one that story first made the rounds about a month ago. It has the potential to revolutionize certain cancer treatments, and could potentially reduce the cost for cancer treatments significantly (reducing need for chemo and radiation, although it is also likely to be used in conjunction with chemo and/or radiation to maximize successful remission).

Thing is that it was a very small sample size and they’ve got to run larger studies to confirm the findings and see if there are limitations to the success. Long term studies will also need to be done to see whether they can maintain remission for 5+ years.
