Another hopeful front on the war against cancer

I can't say how much I hope this plays out to the good.

"This is absolutely one of the more exciting advances I've seen in cancer therapy in the last 20 years," said David Porter, a doctor at the University of Pennsylvania. "We've entered into a whole new realm of medicine."

The Penn study numbers are small but encouraging: Of 37 adult leukemia patients, 12 went into remission, eight into partial remission, and the rest saw improvements. Of 21 pediatric cases, 18 went into complete remission with pretty low relapse rates.
