What is "hybricell"

HybriCell is a therapeutic vaccine developed by Brazilian immunologist Jose Alexandre Barbuto. The treatment, which inhibits the division of cancer cells, is aimed at patients in later stages of kidney cancer or melanoma. The vaccine works by extracting certain leukocytes from the patient's blood and merging them with cancer cells, enabling the body to recognize and attack other similar cancer cells. In studies conducted in 2001 and 2003, 80% of test subjects showed improvement without harmful side effects. Though test groups were relatively small, the results of the studies show evidence that the drug is effective.
