Patient's cells deployed to attack aggressive cancer

• Summary:

An import an step has been token with a woman's body who was 43 years old. It is a treatment with an advanced and deadly kind of cancer, spread from her bile duct to her liver and lungs. Researchers have identified cells from her immune system which attaches specific malignant cells. They have make them grow in a laboratory and infused them back to her blood. Despite the treatment and chemotherapy, she is not cured but her tumors are shrinking.
However, they want to try to treat some to her people with this same type of cancer and more, for example, breasts cancer. They don't know if it's going to work because they only found this cells in that woman.

• Opinion:

It would be an enormous progress if they can manage to research if this treatment could work on other type of cancers, despite chemotherapy. I think we all are waiting the day that this disease could have a definitive cure, for all its different types. It would be the biggest step in the world!

• Words I have learnt:

Shrinking: disminuint, extingint
