This is particularly interesting to me because someone very close to me is in treatment for fairly advanced BC. While it might not be in time to help her, it’s exciting that someone is finally trying something very different than the normal approaches. Breast cancer treatment has continually advanced, but with only slow incremental progress, and where treatment is now still feels extremely primitive. In addition to having potentially life threatening or quality of life destroying side effects most normal treatments provide only moderate increase in lifespan unless you’re lucky enough to have early chemo clear it 100%. As I understand it hormone blocker therapy and the *mab drugs used in stage four usually lose effectiveness as the cancer mutates, such as to not depend on the presence of hormones to grow.
