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.

Wow!
I’ve had pancreatitis 2 times first time 6 months ago and again this month I’ve never had it before and they cannot tell me why I’m scared I don’t drink and they just treat me and sent me home both times could out be a sign I have cancer
@mangojulie123 boo, this is a bad reply. Be kind and understanding or gtfo.
@mando It’s not a bad reply. It’s the truth pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis are clearly not the same thing. A simple Google search would have clarified that PLUS this attention seeker said he was treated by doctors. It’s very sick to suggest that a doctor would send you home twice if you had pancreatic cancer. And there was no reason to delete your other reply to my other post.
@mangojulie123 Its the truth as you see it. Again, if you are not here to help or positively contribute then keep negative comments to yourself. Looks like you are the one who wants “attention” by posting comments that don’t help or contribute. You could have just suggested for him to do a Google search without reverting to calling someone who is trying to find answers an “attention seeker”.
I’ve been on both sides of the situation. Currently work with Doctors and sometimes they don’t offer all the info you need. I’ve also had someone in my family die of cancer who did not get the info they needed in time to get treatment.
@mando And thanks for your hypocritical comment.
@mangojulie123 ha ha ha, oh man you had a chance to shine but didn’t. Oh well. Tomorrow you get another chance. Peace.
This is news! Not Amber Heard bs.
you do know you have an option to what news you listen to…there is always the “OFF” switch”
Absolutely!
I pray this works for many more
My father died of pancreatic cancer. This is amazing news to anyone who has pancreatic cancer and wants to win the fight.
So did mine. 3 years ago.
@Elizabeth Trujillo sorry to hear that. I’m just glad we are closer to finding “a cure” so other families don’t lose their parents in the same way.
@Elizabeth Trujillo mine too, 21 years ago
Wow a great
A good news story. Finally
Wow very groundbreaking
To my uncle just died 3 days ago from pancreatic cancer, I really didn’t need to see this
yes. sometimes it seems like the world is trolling you when you are experiencing grief. sorry, Carlos ♥️🙏
Let it give you hope that hopefully soon other families will not have to experience the same grief. May your uncle rest in peace.
I lost the love of my life in 2001,it’s a horrible cancer.
Go figure, portland leading the way with new drugs
Jokes aside this is great
Praying this beautiful woman will live many years in an excellent health
@Cmore Butts Okay don’t pray then. Nobody is asking you to do so, but I’m free to pray, leave me alone.
@M B yes, you are. I can criticize you if I want too.
@Cmore Butts Okay noted. Thanks.
@M B don’t feed the troll. stay away from toxic people. don’t reply to trolls on the internet, if you stop feeding them, they’ll starve
This is amazing!
My father died of pancreatic cancer just 20 days after being diagnosed
I know that must still be hard to comprehend and accept. I hope you can find peace eventually. Cancer is a cruel mystery of life. 🙏🏾
just pancreatic? wouldn’t this work for all cancer?
Rick Simpson oil! I’ve seen it conquer pancreatic cancer 3 times. Research it.
Congratulations on the Success
That’s incredible
This is fantastic news. Really wonderful. There has never been a ‘cure’ for cancer, only stop gap measures, like cutting it out or killing it using poisons. What they are talking about here is using the bodies natural defences to eliminate cancer, which is beyond fantastic.
I’m happy for her and all other patients who receive this wonderful lifesaving treatment
Monumental news.
Turning Point! Germany’s cautious approach before hesitating support Ukraine now approve to send Kyiv modern air defense system and missiles for taking a long time?
You’re lost in the wrong article!
Can this help with blood cancer
Hope it works for as many people
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. ❤️
Sending you and your family love and healing
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.
Wonderful to hear of this woman’s lifesaving treatment for pancreatic cancer! This is good news for the medical field and patients!
Wonderful news for all mankind!
Thank God for science and smart Dr’s and researchers.
Go science.
wow.
what a good news ! Now see to it that it is not made into a money making mill by insurance mafia.
This is huge!
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.
Nope it’s a hoax right wingers ain’t taking it
This is the problem it’s years away
Why didn’t Alex Trebeq get this treatment, it said 2018
This sounds like CAR-T cell therapy which has been around for some time.
Oh no, don’t let Putin hear this.
I hope they move to clinical trials so the FDA can fast track this treatment.
Right. Seems like it worked pretty simply. Why not just use it again? Can we start a go fund me for whoever needs this or what?
🌈🌈🌈🌈
Can this treat blood cancer
Shouldn’t they be making this available to everyone as soon as possible instead of waiting for a few more years?
Its probably still in development. Plus, it takes years to be FDA-approved. Thankfully though, with our current technology, those years are shortened by a lot.
Usually, in the 20th century, a drug would take the better part of a decade to be approved. Nowadays, it takes less than 5, depending on its success rate.
Amazing truly 💜
My son needs this now!!!!
Maybe try contacting the hospital and doctor they may need more patients. Hoping you are able to get help for your son!
Keep it up Kathy!
Hmmm? Can ANYTHING i mean ANYTHING good/worthwhile come out of Portland??????
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.
I’m so sorry, where are you located? Hospitals cannot refuse to treat you and I’d go there daily until I got a referral – you have a right to have life threatening illnesses evaluated & treated by a specialist. There are also websites where you cam enroll in studies in your state.
At last, good news!
It’s called assisted suicide.
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.
They will never let a cure become legal
Car-t therapy ?
This vid is missing the main dude who actually created the therapy, Dr. Eric Tran, wonder why they left him out?
Here’s a link to a more professional local news outlet vs this lazy NBC piece https://youtube.com/watch?v=kLhRMZokBQc&feature=share
Here’s another link to the main man Dr. Eric Tran! https://youtube.com/watch?v=3_oiV70fSnc&feature=share
Please donate more $ to help this amazing researcher and his amazing team to end cancer now!
Here’s another link to a better news report compared to lazy NBC https://youtube.com/watch?v=RgMq17mZapg&feature=share
Here’s a better link to a better report compared to this lazy NBC. https://youtube.com/watch?v=RgMq17mZapg&feature=share
i lost my only brother to this deadly disease just last year at a young age of 50. I wish he had this treatment. I am really happy for this woman and I pray that this method of therapy is successful for this horrible disease.
Wow this should be the coverage on every station put money behind this company and save lives
Good news! So hopeful !
Dr Obulor has broader my heart, i will always remember your efforts for helping me get rid of my cancer. what else can I say than thank you #Drobulor
That’s how “I’m legend started” ! The end of the world!
(jokes aside, I’m very happy to hear that)
And what is stopping this from being wildly available?
Millions of people growing basically golden nuggets in their bodies that are killing them. 1mm of a cancer slide cost over a 1000 dollars, cancer patients never see that money though.
I have permanent cures for herpes, HPV, HSV, cancer, Lupus, Fibroid, let’s help make the world a better place, let’s save lives and end all STDs.
lover this
sounds good
haha
mhmm
cheers for this
love progress!
feels sus to me
promsing
I never thought I would see a cure for cancer in my life, grandmother died of stomach cancer after seven years of battling cancer and this is honestly breaking my heart and making me happy at the same time because finally the cure has been provided by the great doctor who happens to be Dr itoya thank you doctor for making me cancer negative completely without any side effects
Dr oiwoh on YouTube has really been a great impact to my health life and I’m forever grateful to God for directing me to him I recommend him,now the way to perfect healing is right in your hands🙂.

Good things they say it advertises itself Dr itoya is a very good example of this, I was scared initially despite all he said to convince me but with my courageous and faith I order the medications lol and behold I was healed completely after 14 days of usage. Thank you so much Dr itoya for being trust worthy and make me cancer negative, you can reach him on YouTube channel
