Once again, the re-engineered T-cells hunted down and destroyed the cancerous T-cells. This is a revolutionary, brand new treatment based on base editing. It is not based on traditional drug therapy.
Answer my question: is it more important to you that you are right, or more important that all of the scientists are right and save the lives of many more cancer sufferers ?

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

He doesn't need them because he already knows why cancer treatments fail, as you admit. He may have learned why cancer treatments fail from some of the very links that you claim do not exist.
You're not only willfully ignorant; you're also willfully blind. I was going to say you're like an infant playing peekaboo - if he can't see it, it isn't there - but at least the infant grows out of it. You likely never will.

It doesn't matter what the therapy is. The re-engineered T-cells must attack cancerous T-cells based on an antigen the cancerous cells have. If the cancerous T-cells mutated that antigen so that the re-engineered T-cell no longer recognizes that mutated antigen, the re-engineered T-cells will not attack that cell. But if you think Alyssa is cured, contact her doctors and tell them they don't have to monitor her condition. These doctors may have a good treatment, but cancer cells are not exact clones and it may not target all cancer cells. That's why it is very likely that 2 or 3 drugs (selection pressures) targeted therapy will be necessary to give a durable treatment for cancers. Edward Tatum recognized this in his 1958 Nobel Laureate Lecture.
I will never give false hope to a patient based on confusion and misunderstanding of how a cancer treatment fails, even yours.

You likely never will.
You do realize you are going to receive a demanded math assignment for this observation, right?

I am human - I can be both right and wrong about various things, because humans are capable of error.
Do you accept that you are human, and can be both right and wrong about various things, because you are capable of error ?

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Is this your excuse for not correctly explaining why cancer treatments fail? What do you think was meant by Edward Tatum when he said this in his 1958 Nobel Laureate Lecture?
Edward Tatum – Nobel Lecture - NobelPrize.org
As an important example of the application of these same concepts of microbial genetics to mammalian cells, we may cite the probable mutational origin of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents in leukemic cells, and the increasing and effective simultaneous use of two or more chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of this disease.

I am asking you if you accept that you can be wrong. You are avoiding answering that simple question. Answer it.

I am not wrong on this, you are. And those doctors are correct to be monitoring Alyssa. I hope for the best, but I prepare for the worst.

You are still not answering the question. Are you capable of being wrong ?

Not reptiles evolve into birds and fish evolve into mammals wrong. You have to be a biologist to get it that wrong.

Actually, scratch that. So you are saying that hundreds of thousands of evidence backed biologists are capable of being wrong, but you're not ?
