Congratulations to two talented researchers, James Allison and Tasuku Honjo!
The Nobel Prize for Medicine 2018 was given to James Allison, MD Anderson Cancer Research Institute and Tasuku Honjo, who works at Kyoto University. They earned the honor of "discovering cancer treatments by refraining from negative-negative circulation." The prize was announced this afternoon in Stockholm.
Their research shows that the human immune system can be altered to produce tumor-invasive T-cells. Rarely, breakthroughs in cancer research have received the Nobel Prize. The two scientists, Mr. Allison and Honjo, will both receive over $ 1 million in bonuses.

"I just study basic science to do basic science, but you see, I have had the opportunity to develop it into something that is good for humanity," said Allison.
This finding by two older scientists represents "a major shift in the fight against cancer," because their study does not focus on tumor suppression, but rather regulates the immune system itself. we to heal.
"The power of this treatment is that it allows the immune system to attack cancer cells by using the right dosage, specific antibodies to regulate immune cells," says Jeremy Berg, editor of the journal Science. "Types of cancer can be cured effectively by increasing the amount of this cancer."
Last year, the study of the human body clock won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
The two researchers have made great contributions to the fight against cancer of the human race! Thank you and congratulations!
The fourth method to treat cancer
In particular, Allison and Honjo actually revolutionized the treatment of cancer, by removing the mechanism that inhibits the immune system from attacking cancer cells. It's an inhibitor, and now it's definitely going to be the fourth way to treat cancer, along with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
Be aware that cancer is not natural but difficult to cure. Cancer cells become dangerous in part because of the ability to "stealthy" against immune T-cell lymphocytes.
Normally, T cells play a role in finding foreign elements through protein coding. But cancer cells, which can block this process, should not suffer from immune system scans.
According to Allison, the new discovery is just stopping at the potential level of creating new treatments for cancer patients, and should be used in conjunction with existing therapies.
"The biggest challenge now is how to develop the right formula so that the drug works on the highest patient rate. This takes time."
With Honjo - 76 this year, he began researching after witnessing a schoolmate die of stomach cancer.
