More on Immunotherapy

This is a nice piece from Fox News. It focuses on how Barack Obama causes cancer.

No, no, that's political humor in an election year. The Fox News piece actually focuses on advances in Immunotherapy -- treatments that use the body's natural defenses to fight cancer.

The article is called "Training Immune System to Fight Cancer Comes of Age," and it's focus is really about which Immunotherapy companies to invest in, but it gives  a nice summary of some of the treatments currently in use, and others in development.

Yervoy, for example, is used in treating melanoma, and has been successful for many patients. The article points out that a few are in use now, that "at least a dozen therapies are set to have key late- or mid-stage trial data over the next 12 months," and that "scores" more are in earlier stages of development.

There isn't any specific mention of NHL treatments, but we know they're out there.
