“That's when I found out it was a tumor, and that he had fluid on the brain, which was building up and that's why he couldn't walk. You never think your child has a brain tumor. That's not something you entertain.”

“One of the potential uses we envision is to use the ART treatment as a way to use tumor components to immunize cancer patients against their own cancer cells, ... The current problem with this treatment strategy is that the tumor gives off a variety of soluble products which we don't fully understand, but which we know wreck havoc on the immune system by suppressing its various components. If we can use the ART drugs to increase the number of newly produced T cells in cancer patients first, we can potentially improve the likelihood of getting a cancer vaccine to work.”
David McKean
“Currently, there is no way of knowing the exact dose of radiation received by a tumor. And, because most organs shift inside the body depending on whether a patient is sitting or lying down, for example, the tumor also shifts. This technology will allow doctors to pinpoint the exact position of the tumor to more effectively administer radiation treatments.”
