Academician V.Kozlov, director of the Clinical Immunology Institute of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences' Siberian branch, told the AiF popular weekly of the treatment practice. Essentially it looks like this: cancer cells are taken from a patient with cancer and processed according to a special method to be put back in the body. As a result, the body becomes immune to this kind of cancer tumor, the growth of malignant cells retards or stops completely. Together with the Traumatology and Orthopedy Research Institute the Novosibirsk researchers have provided treatment to over thirty patients with brain tumor. The result is impressive: the five-year survivability index has increased two times. Now, scientists are applying this method against the herpes virus and viral hepatitis. They have even undertaken treating skin melanoma and rectal cancer. Several dozen cases having such diagnoses have been treated in Novosibirsk. The patients have been under medical supervision for three years. All of them are alive.
