Ask HN: Can't we think out of the box to kill the tumor?

3•kinj28•5h ago
Current creativity is all focused around making T cells recognize tumor in my knowledge. Is there any one working in other kind of injectable cells that feed on this tumor and thinking differently?

Context: my father is a last stage patient (gastric melonama) and I think as an engineer that there ought to be some solution!

I can't recall the scientists name and his product was not yet approved so dont get your hopes up, but a scientist recently met with Donald Trump to attempt to get a process approved that increases the production on NK natural killer cells. Their trials had incredible success with many patients that had late stage cancers that had spread throughout their body. I just can't remember the scientists name. Potentially related [1].

It may be Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong [2]

There are of course natural techniques that can buy time and minimize the damage by chemo but if I dare suggest any of them I will get poo-poo'd on by HN regardless of how many or how good of references I provide. There are too many conflicts of interest here.

some may not like it but the mRNA approach to covid vaccine is applicable.

an mRNA that expresses antigens that are high signal to the immune system, such as measles antigen, packed into a lipid micelle bearing recognition molecules, specific to the immunoscape, of the tumor.

the bodys immune system would respond to tumour cells flagged with measles antigens, as if they were infected by measles, a robust response.

the concern is the extent of the tumor, and consequences for disruption of tissue or whole organ. not to mention the cost, for individual case vs participating in a research program.
