the Canadian oncologists checked on mice a combination of two methods of an immunotherapy of a cancer and with its help managed to cure from 60 to 90 percent of experimental animals of a form of a cancer of a breast hard to cure. New research in the Science Translational Medicine magazine.

Experimental therapy the group under the leadership of Mari - Burzhua Klod - Deyno from University developed Ottawa for treatment of the extremely aggressive form of a cancer of a mammary gland – so-called three times a negative cancer of a mammary gland (triple-negative breast cancer, TNBC). He received such name, as cells of a tumor of this type of a cancer not expressiruyut three types of receptors – an estrogen, a progesterone and an epidermalny factor of growth.

Group Burzhua Klod - Deyno applied at once two while a little widespread therapies – so-called onkolitichesky viruses (the modified viruses which breed only in cancer cells) and inhibitors of immune control points (monoclonal antibodies which block a so-called signal of PD-1 by means of which tumoral cages do not allow lymphocytes of to kill).

"Our immune system constantly tries to distinguish and kill cancer cells, but cancer cells always try to disappear from it, – explains result the coauthor of article the doctor Bell John, professor of Ottavsky university. – When you infect a cancer cell with a virus, it hoists the big red colors which help immune system to distinguish and attack a cancer. But in some types of a cancer of it it is still not enough. We found out that when we add inhibitors of immune control points after a virus, it releases all "alarm signals" and the immune system sends the armies against a cancer in full strength".
