The team used a patient's blood to develop special white blood cells (white blood cells) that help identify and fight cancer-causing cancer cells.

Next, they studied the effect of this method in people with nasopharyngeal carcinoma - a form of throat cancer.

Professor Rajiv Khanna said the study has the potential to double the survival time for patients.

According to Professor Khanna, usually patients with throat cancer will die within 6 months or about 200 days. But with new treatments, patients can cope with 'death' for about 520 days without having to suffer any side effects.
