Vaccines and Adoptive T-Cell Therapy

A new review strongly suggests that anti-melanoma vaccines in general haven't worked out, (unlike adoptive t-cell therapy), and that a period of reflection is needed.

This may well be because the tumours can switch off immune responses locally.

Anyone wanting to join a clinical trial of adoptive t-cell therapy could got to Israel. I spoke to these researchers previously, and they are accepting international patients. There is also a second study not yet recruiting in the country.
