Reporting from The Guardian, Judy Perkins a woman who suffered from severe breast cancer and spread to other body parts has been successfully cured by using immune system therapy.

"The condition of my body was so bad that I had a large tumor pressing on the nervous system, I tried not to move to avoid the pain I was experiencing, I had given up at the time," said the woman from Florida, United States.

The method that doctors do is to extract immune cells known as Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) from tumor biopsis. It is an immune cell that fails to kill the tumor cells in the patient. Then developed in the laboratory up to billions of cells and choose some that are considered effective can kill cancer cells.

Doctors injected about 80 billion immune cells into Judy Perkins' body carefully, in addition medical teams also administered medication along with immune therapy. After 42 weeks of therapy, Judy Perkins succeeded in defeating the cancer cells she suffered.

"This is a very promising discovery, but we still have to do some further observations to see what the future effect will be like," says Simon Vincent research director of Breast Cancer Now.
For Judy Perkins herself this is a new life, because before she had prepared for the worst.

"I feel so incredible and do not believe can get rid of breast cancer, I have been free for 2 years," he concluded.
