VTV.vn - The 2018 Nobel Prize for Medicine has been awarded to two scientists who discovered how to fight cancer using the body's immune system, Prof. Tasuku Honjo and Prof. James P. Allison, and now this cancer treatment is being tested in Vietnam.

A student of Prof. Honjo, Prof. Dr. Tạ Thành Văn, Vice President of the Hanoi Medical University, and his colleagues are developing this work with a new approach. This method has been tested in more than 20 patients, and has obtained positive results.

However, the challenge is that the treatment is very expensive, so it is not yet accessible to all patients.
