'Serial killer' cells eradicate leukemia tumours"

In a breakthrough for leukemia patients that was 20 years in the making, researchers in Pennsylvania say they have developed a groundbreaking technique to create co-called ‘serial killer' T cells that eradicate tumours in patients who have few treatment options left.

Researchers in Pennsylvania say the new treatment involves removing the patient's own T cells, genetically modifying them and then injecting them back into the patient's body, where they seek and destroy cancer cells.

The treatment was tested on three patients with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Doctors had little to offer these patients in terms of treatment besides a bone marrow transplant, a risky procedure with a 20 per cent mortality rate that offers a 50 per cent cure rate at best. The new gene therapy treatment led to periods of remission for all patients that lasted as long as a year.

The findings are so significant that they are being published simultaneously in two journals: the New England Journal of Medicine and Science Translational Medicine.

"Within three weeks, the tumours had been blown away, in a way that was much more violent than we ever expected," senior study author Carl June, director of translational research and a professor of pathology and laboratory medicine in the Abramson Cancer Center, said in a statement. "It worked much better than we thought it would."
