SOME NEWS OUT OF FINLAND

                                       An early camping trip

                            Amazingly, that truck still exists

                                                        And runs!

Well, I don’t see this as some stupendous breakthrough, but I guess every little bit helps.  It appears that a research group in Finland has deduced just how OVCA cells – in women with BRCA1/2 mutations – avoid being attacked by the immune system.  As only about 20% of OVCA patients have these genetic failings, these Finnish results would appear to have limited applicability.  OVCA has been conspicuously resistant to immunotherapy; perhaps research like this eventually will tell us why, and what to do about it.  One can only hope.
