NEW CANCER DRUG ERASES TUMORS—AND SOME PATIENTS SKIPPED SURGERY COMPLETELY
A new study just dropped and it’s kinda wild: a drug called dostarlimab made early-stage cancer disappear in some patients—like, poof, gone.
One group had 49 people with rectal cancer take the drug for 6 months… and every single one skipped surgery.
No knives, no chemo, no radiation, no drama.
Even better?
Two years later, 92% were still cancer-free, and some even had kids afterward—something they couldn’t do if they’d had body parts removed.
Here’s the catch: it only works for a tiny group (2–3%) of people with a rare gene glitch that messes up how cells fix themselves.
Doctors are now trying to test it on more people, but this could be a huge game-changer.
