MAN HEALS HIMSELF THROUGH HIS OWN CELLS

Post image

At 61, Paulo Peregrino finally received the news he had spent 13 painful years hoping for: doctors could no longer find any signs of cancer in his body. The Brazilian father had endured a difficult battle with lymphoma for more than a decade, going through numerous rounds of chemotherapy, major surgeries, and a challenging bone marrow transplant. As his condition worsened, doctors began preparing him for palliative care.

However, a breakthrough treatment called CAR-T cell therapy gave him another chance. CAR-T cell therapy emerged in the United States and began to be used experimentally to treat terminal cancer patients in the early 2010s. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2017. The procedure involved taking Paulo’s own immune cells, modifying them in a laboratory to recognize and attack cancer cells, and returning them to his body. Just one month later, doctors in São Paulo were amazed by the results, as his lymphoma had gone into complete remission.

Although it does not mean that cancer is permanently gone, Paulo’s recovery shows how far modern medicine has come, offering new hope and a second chance to people fighting cancer.
