Michelle Welch+FollowSkin Cancer Breakthrough: One-Time Therapy!Did you hear about this wild new skin cancer treatment? Researchers just tested a one-time therapy called lifileucel that uses your own immune cells to fight advanced melanoma—and the results are insane. Nearly 1 in 5 patients survived five years, and tumors shrank in almost 80%! One woman’s cancer even disappeared after just six weeks. It’s not approved everywhere yet, but this could totally change the game for people with late-stage melanoma. Science is seriously leveling up! #SkinCancer #MedicalBreakthrough #Melanoma #Health150Share
