A 52-year-old man from Oregon with Stage 4 melanoma has responded to an experimental treatment with amazing results. The man was given less than a year to live, but had a complete remission of his advanced deadly skin cancer after an experimental treatment that revved up his immune system to fight the tumors.

He is now tumor-free two years after being treated by 'immunotherapy.' "Immunotherapy has become the most promising approach" to late-stage, death-sentence skin cancers, said Dr. Darrell Rigel, a dermatology researcher at the New York University Cancer Institute in New York who had no role in the research.
