Groundbreaking Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Created In Portland



Dr. Rom Leidner created a groundbreaking experimental cancer treatment in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Leidner’s treatment is currently the only known effective therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer, the deadliest of all cancers. The treatment uses the harvested T-cells from patients and genetically modifies them to attack cancer, also known as the living drug. Though it may be years away from being available, this represents hope to pancreatic cancer patients and potentially other cancer patients.

  2. Here’s another link to a better news report compared to lazy NBC https://youtube.com/watch?v=RgMq17mZapg&feature=share

  3. Please donate more $ to help this amazing researcher and his amazing team to end cancer now!

  4. Here’s another link to the main man Dr. Eric Tran! https://youtube.com/watch?v=3_oiV70fSnc&feature=share

  5. Here’s a link to a more professional local news outlet vs this lazy NBC piece https://youtube.com/watch?v=kLhRMZokBQc&feature=share

  6. This vid is missing the main dude who actually created the therapy, Dr. Eric Tran, wonder why they left him out?

  7. They will never let a cure become legal

  8. These life extension therapies will only be available to those that live in wealthy Western countries, the vey countries that are having to deal with the problem of an ageing population and not enough youngsters to do work. As a member of an ageing population in a Western country I have decided that when it is my turn to make room for subsequent generations I will do it willingly and with grace. Hopefully I won’t need a physicians assistance to make my graceful exit, just enough fuel in my boat to get to my favourite fishing grounds.

  9. It's called assisted suicide.

  10. You are so lucky having an oncologist with most advanced knowledge and willing to help you. I'm dying from ovarian cancer and only have a non-physician nurse playing physician, whom I refuse to accept as a complete replacement of an oncologist. My insurance does not pay less. My primary care physician (MD) has been helping me for procedures, hope I can find an oncologist in time.

  11. Hmmm? Can ANYTHING i mean ANYTHING good/worthwhile come out of Portland??????

  12. My son needs this now!!!!

  13. Shouldn't they be making this available to everyone as soon as possible instead of waiting for a few more years?

  14. I hope they move to clinical trials so the FDA can fast track this treatment.

  15. Oh no, don’t let Putin hear this.

  16. This sounds like CAR-T cell therapy which has been around for some time.

  17. Why didn’t Alex Trebeq get this treatment, it said 2018

  18. This is the problem it's years away

  19. Nope it's a hoax right wingers ain't taking it

  20. Wonderful that she was given a longer life. After seeing my father suffer with pancreatic cancer and also a friend , I know how horrible that cancer is. Because a diagnosis with pancreatic cancer is almost always painfully fatal. If this could save and prolong any life , it would be a blessing.

  21. wow.
    what a good news ! Now see to it that it is not made into a money making mill by insurance mafia.

  22. Thank God for science and smart Dr’s and researchers.

  23. Wonderful news for all mankind!

  24. Wonderful to hear of this woman's lifesaving treatment for pancreatic cancer! This is good news for the medical field and patients!

  25. She looks amazing for 72! It's probably one reason that this treatment worked for her. It did not work for the other person who was also treated with this experimental process.

  26. At 72 so pretty. Praying for this lovely woman. We just buried my dad yesterday from colon cancer stage 4. Then I just saw this video. Hurt a lot its too late for him but happy for the future generations. ❤️

  27. Hope it works for as many people
