Al-Marsad newspaper: Doctors in Britain expect a man diagnosed with an aggressive form of bile duct cancer to live a year.
And British newspaper ‘The Guardian’ reported on Friday that Robert Glenn, 51, had been completely cured of cancer thanks to a new treatment for this malignant disease known as immunotherapy.
The cancer has been classified as stage four, with very bleak predictions for the foreseeable future.
New program
He was transferred to a new oncology program, where he participated in clinical trials for a treatment known as immunotherapy, which has been approved for use in the treatment of other cancers such as lung, kidney and others.
The idea of immunotherapy is to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
Pre-treatment screening showed that the patient’s tumor had a high mutation load, indicating that he had a good response to treatment.
And the treatment of the patient, Glenn, depended on feeding his body a liquid that helps the immune system fight cancer, and the treatment also depended on chemical doses.
The treatment started to show results, as the cancerous tumor in the liver shrunk from 12cm to 2.3cm, while the cancerous tumor in the adrenal gland shrunk from 7cm to 4.1cm.
fully healed
The surprise was that the surgeons only found dead tissue, which means that the treatment eliminated the cancer cells.
She said the doctors checked the tumors twice but didn’t believe what they were seeing, and one of the nurses said, “It’s a miracle.”
Since surgery last April, Glenn has not needed further treatment and subsequent tests showed that he had fully recovered from the cancer.
