That's certainly encouraging news.
Wow! That is very exciting indeed, especially as I have lost close loved ones to different forms of cancer, and chemo is a horrible thing to endure or even watch. Hopefully this can be transferred to humans as effectively, and done at a cost level to the patient that it can be afforded.
I'm sorry to be looking at the glass as half-empty, but how many years away is this in humans, if it ever happens? Seems there are a couple of "cures" discussed a decade. Can't remember any being this promising though.

My sense from the article is that they'll have to identify which humans have "cancer resistant" immune systems, just as they have in mice. I don't know whether this means identifying certain patterns of DNA or whether they'll have to determine this empirically using reall human cells.
I'm certainly going to follow this story though. I have lost a dear uncle to cancer.
