Massive dose of measles vaccine kills woman’s cancer in ‘landmark’ U.S. trial | National Post: Stacy Erholtz from Pequot Lakes, a rural community northwest of Minneapolis, was suffering from myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow that had spread throughout her body.
After almost a decade of treatment she was running out of options.
Last June, she enrolled in an experimental procedure at the state’s famed Mayo Clinic. Doctors gave her 100 billion infectious units of the vaccine — or enough to inoculate 10 million people — the clinic reports in a study released Wednesday.
The cancer went into complete remission and appears to have been eliminated, Dr. Stephen Russell, who helped develop the procedure and the study’s leader, writes the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
