Chuigray, I'll agree with you that it's possible, but the key will be very early detection. We're getting better at detection, but still a long way to go before we find most cancers before some symptoms occur.
My grandmother was 93 when gallstones were found, at her age an operation was risky, but doing nothing eventually would kill her. They did all the testing they could to determine nothing more would be found. One Dr. believed if they went it more would be found, they got the gallstones, but pancreatic cancer was discovered in spite of all they'd done before. She chose not to fight it, just be comfortable, we all agreed with her wishes, but she did survive many months longer. It was years ago, but I don't know that even today they'd have found that cancer.
It's been said that our bodies routinely defeat cancers without further help. I don't know how that can be proven, but if true, the next question may be, do we boost it. It would seem to me that DCVax-Direct could be such a booster. Even though no cancer was known, might we all benefit from DCVax-Direct made from our blood at increments of several years apart.
Just a thought, if we can somehow detect cancer very early, say with a blood test that's part of an annual checkup, even if we couldn't identify the specific cancer, DCVax-Direct could be made then and hopefully would eliminate whatever was there. The proof it was eliminated would be follow on blood tests, if not eliminated more would be done to find it, then act to eliminate it. Of course, without a tumor to inject into, the blood would have to be expected to eventually get the vaccine to any cancerous cells.
I don't know that this is possible, and I suspect it could be a decade or more before such a thing is tried, after DCVax-Direct is approved for injection into inoperable cancers. I believe once approved for inoperable cancers smarter Oncologist will use it before surgery and give it time to spread into the entire tumor, most importantly the mets. In the most successful of surgeries, if the cancer returns it's normally because all the mets can't be removed, it might take a decade, but they can return, often in more than one place. That's what killed my sister a few years ago.
It's been a decade since my stem cells. After an exam my Dr. is still happy to call and report no sign of reoccurrence.
Right now I'm suffering with back problems and sciatica, I've had it before, but this is the most painful I've ever had. I wish they had a permanent answer for it.
