| Successful experimental treatment of metastatic melanoma
In a new publication* by the group at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), USA, a summary of treatment with adoptive immunotherapy of some 160 patients with metastatic melanoma was reported. Positive response was observed in 72% of the patients and stable response for more than 3 years in 49%. This experimental treatment is currently provided also in the Ella Institute for Melanoma, at the Sheba Medical Center, Israel. http://eng.sheba.co.il/Sheba_Hospitals/Acute_Care_Hospital/Division_of_Internal_Medicine/MELANOMA |

melanoma is quite dangerous, so make sure that you get early detection or early treatment;~”
