I was at a medical meeting recently about this company and the talk was very optimistic about what they're doing for cancer. Basically there are three ways to beat cancer:
1) Surgical excision
2) Chemically kill the cells (chemotherapy)
3) Stimulate your own immune system to kill the cancer
This company uses method 3 and the results have been stunningly successful. They started in Cincinnati but they moved across the river when they got a grant from the state of Kentucky. They're testing it on brain cancer right now but they told me that they believe this will be a successful treatment for any kind of tumor cancer e.g. breast, melanoma, prostate...They're starting human trials now. Could go to market in 4 or 5 yrs.
I don't know if it'll turn out to be everything they claim but if it is, you heard it here first. Something to think about. The company is Bexion
