Comment Balwani is the master-mind (Score 3, Informative) 112

Balwani is the real criminal master-mind here, and as long as he gets the book thrown at him, justice will be served. And considering that he isn't a white wealthy woman, things look especially dire. Yay.

... easier said than done. Cancer is hard because: 1) the cells keep mutating to evade the immune system, and 2) often the micro-environment surrounding the tumor is really hostile to immune cells. So even if you teach the immune system to recognize a cancer antigen using mRNA, chances are either the tumor population will eventually mutate to no longer produce that antigen, or the immune cell itself can't survive long enough in the tumor microenvironment to be effective (like in glioblastoma for instance).
