Levy explains. In the new study, Dr. Levy and his team delivered micrograms of two specific agents into one hard tumor site in each of the affected mice. The agents in question were:. Importantly, Dr. In the laboratory, the scientists first applied this method to the mouse model of lymphoma, and 87 out of 90 mice became cancer-free.
In the other three cases, the tumors did recur, but they disappeared when the researchers administered the treatment a second time. Similarly successful results were observed in the mouse model of breast, colon, and skin cancer. Also, even the mice that were genetically engineered to develop breast cancer spontaneously responded well to this method of treatment.
However, when scientists transplanted two different types of cancer tumor — lymphoma and colon cancer — in the same animal but only injected the experimental formula into a lymphoma site, the results were mixed. All the lymphoma tumors did recede, but the same did not hold true for the colon cancer tumor, confirming that the T cells only learn to deal with the cancer cells that were in their immediate vicinity before the injection.
You might have stinging or a dull ache for a short time after this type of injection but they don't usually hurt much. The skin in the area may go red and itchy for a while. Nurse: This is a short film showing you how to give an injection just under your skin. This is called a subcutaneous or sub cut injection.
This does not replace what your doctors and nurses tell you, so always follow their advice. Voiceover: Subcutaneous injections may be part of your cancer treatment. Or, you may need them to prevent side effects of treatment, such as blood clots after surgery.
Or to help control cancer symptoms, such as pain or sickness. Nurse: So, today I am going to show you how to give a subcutaneous injection. I am going to start by giving it into a practice cushion and then you can have a go at giving one yourself. Before you start, you need to get your equipment together. What you are going to need is an alcohol wipe to clean your skin, some cotton wool, a prefilled syringe and a sharps bin.
It is important that you wash your hands with soap and water and dry them thoroughly before you start. Check that you have got the correct drug and that it is in date. You can give the injection into the back of your arm, your tummy, your thigh or the outer part of your bottom. It is important that you vary where you give the injection. So it may be that you give it one day in your tummy and the next in your thigh.
So you start by cleaning the skin with the alcohol wipe and allowing it to air dry. Then you take the cover off the needle and pinch the skin up and hold it a bit like a pen and in an upright position, in a quick dart like motion pop it straight down into the skin. Then you press the plunger right to the end, quickly pull the needle out, dab it with cotton wool, pop the needle into the sharps bin.
And then you need to wash your hands again. If you start by checking the drug and the expiry date. And then with the alcohol wipe give your skin a clean.
Ok and then if you want to pick up the syringe and take the cover off the needle. Then pinch your skin up and at a ninety degree angle gently push the needle in Central lines usually go into your body in the centre of your chest. Then they run up under your skin to a large vein by your collarbone. Or, you may need them to prevent side effects of treatment, such as blood clots after surgery.

Reasons for this include:. But clusters almost never reflect a higher rate of cancer than in the general public. In very rare cases, cancer cells from an organ donor have caused cancer to grow in the person who got the organ. This does not happen often, because our immune systems look for cells that are not our own and destroys them.
