Makes sense to me, especially as BCG is a similar situation. Another treatment it that may or may not hit the market next year is bacterial based-MCNA. I have read similar studies in the dermatology/melanoma field. Logically, the immune system should be back viruses, bacterial infections and cancers if it is stromg or not compromised.

Thanks for sharing.

That's a great and informative article. I've been asked several times how and when immunotherapy started, and now I can answer that question.

Thanks so much for sharing!
