Stanford treats first U.S. cancer patient using breakthrough treatment for melanoma

The Food and Drug Administration approved a cell-based therapy for patients who have tried immunotherapy and have no other viable options. Stanford treated the first patient in the country using that therapy. CBS News Bay Area anchor Ryan Yamamoto asks Dr. Allison Betof Warner from Stanford Health Care how the treatment works, and why it's considered such a breakthrough

    My mom had melanoma on both ankles about 30 years ago in Florida. She was incredibly fortunate to find a Dr. who removed the cancer, grew some of her cells in a lab and somehow applied the cells to the area where skin grafts were taken on her thighs I think. He told her that she would not get it again and she hasn't. She's doing great at over 80. It's wonderful that you all are so excited about this, but treatments like this should have been widely available long ago.

    As someone who got many bad sunburns during my childhood and teen years, and who has had melanoma in recent years, this is very exciting news. I had a scare last year when my oncologist thought my melanoma might have metastasized 3:51 to my brain; the abnormality in my brain turned out to be non-cancerous, but I had just been treated for an aggressive melanoma and we knew that it could metastasize quickly. I hope this new treatment gets approved and put into wide use soon, as more melanoma is almost guaranteed to be in my near future. If I can afford the treatment, that is, what with my insurance plan that denies everything…

    Interesting news! I think using our own immune systems to combat many cancers may have the best chances of making a big difference. Lots of "interesting" comments also. Most people getting skin cancer have a fair amount of redheaded genes (freckles, ultra white/transparent skin, easily sunburnt). These are not the typical populations in the tropics. As one commenter noted, basically, we should have stayed in Europe if we didn't want sunburns. Not sure how climate change is responsible for any increase since the sun's intensity has more to do with the sun than our small changes in the atmosphere. But go ahead with supporting "the cause" at any opportunity. I think that just numbs people to the constant trying to tie unrelated and at times total uncorrelated things to CO2. And don't get me started on the "seed oil" people. Where did this come from? Too much sun for people with freckles is bad (I have had skin cancers removed). Too high of blood sugar levels lead to inflamation of the arteries (I have stents along with my diabetes). Most of my health problems are due to things I did when I was younger and didn't heed warnings. I'm glad medicine is continuing to try and come up with solutions to problems we create for ourselves.

    skin cancers primarily are a result of the fact that our bodies skin oils are full of oxidized omega 6 oils from the processed seed oils we have switched to. Those rancid oils coming out of our skin are then further oxidized by the different wave lengths of the suns rays and become so toxic that they damage the dna of our skin cells to the point that they are now prone to developing carcinomas. Skin cancer increases are in direct proportion to the increase or switch from animals fats to industrial oxidized seed oils that we eat and which are in almost every processed food on the shelf.

    adding, the soot build up over the caps which absorb more heat thus faster melts and warmer climates. resulting in a warmer drift which ultimately warms even more, gathers pollution that builds on the soot when clouds are released in the caps. horrible loop. only solution is to implode the caps to shake up the soot so the caps reflect / deflect the uv/sun so the caps freeze over again.
