Grant: Project Grant

Despite significant progress in the early detection and treatment of breast cancer, about 10-15% of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients do not respond well to currently available treatment options. New effective treatment options are urgently needed. While breast cancer suppress our immune system, we have recently learned how to post our immune system to fight cancer. Recent advances in cancer immunotherapy have provided much optimism due to the development of effective novel treatments for breast cancer, particularly for the ones we do not have effective treatment options. In this project we would like to develope new cancer immunotherapy using body's own cancer fighting cells Called: Natural killer cells.
