        I am a true believer that IL-2 has a place in the cure. Based on how cells are activated, one can see how IL-2 can play a critical roll in immunotherapy. Timing of the addition is critical. Combinatory therapy can cure some patients. If you read some of my research papers, you can see what I am talking about. These papers armed now just being recognized in the research community.

        Take care

              Fully agree. That's what this Onc says too!   I have been disagreeing with some people that say one should not look at anything before 2011.  Glad to see that what you investigated is finally being looked at more.  I long ago sent your work to my Oncs.  It's good work.  IF not for IL-2 many of us would not be here today.  When they learn what biomarkers to look for it's % success will be much higher.  They aare getting closer to being able to match treatments to individuals melanomas.
