On Spontaneous Cure Of Cancer

Abstract

As a result of studies conducted in the author’s laboratory that suggest that there may be immune responses that are antagonistic to cancer, the authors present a detailed review of the data regarding the spontaneous cure of cancer in mice, both laboratory experiments and case studies. The authors then evaluate fourteen cases of spontaneous recovery from cancer found in the medical literature. They include two epitheliomata, one scirrhous cancer of the breast, one malignant adenoma of the rectum, seven cases of choriocarcinoma, one endothelioma, and two sarcomata. Full text of several case reports is presented and critically reviewed by the authors. The authors conclude from their analysis that spontaneous recoveries do certainly occur, that cancer is not always incurable, and that further research should be initiated.
