Fourteen Years After Lung Cancer Diagnosis, Patient is Enjoying Her Life

In 2008, Tempkin was a year beyond the five-year survival measure, but she still had lung cancer. As it happens, clinical trials were going on at Hadassah using the Listeria bacteria as a cancer vaccine, taking advantage of the bacteria's ability to induce immunity. Although there was no clinical proof that it could impede metastasizing lung cancer, Tempkin was able to get the vaccine on a compassionate basis, through the connections of the Hadassah researchers. It worked for her. "We can't prove why it worked for her and not other patients," said Dr. Nechushtan. "The vaccine may have improved her body's response to more traditional cancer treatment." In Israel, the listeria vaccine was only available at Hadassah Hospital.
