1:09 pm
progress and congratulations to our colleagues who won the nobel prize why deserved so great progress are cancer patients already seeing benefits from this research in their treatment options yes definitely there are clinical trials going on and this treatment is already in practice and are on the voyage these are and you have a look so if the right diagnosis is being made these antibodies can be applied and patients can be. some of them can be cured actually from their counsel can you tell us a bit more about the research of the scientists work as you were saying focuses on how the body's immune system can fight cancer can you explain in lay terms what their research actually revealed. or to be immune system has a number of different sounds and the ts are those which in principle can take the concepts and then kind of make them disappear from the body and in order to
