As per the report of Forbes news a combination of two drugs manufactured by pharmaceutical Bristol-Myers Squibb have done wonders to attack and incredibly melt away tumor-causing cancer.

The woman diagnosed with cancer and had already undergone removing melanomas on her skin and still having growths on her left breast was said to be miraculously cleared of her cancer after taking the experimental drugs, Yervoy and Opdivo which said to have boosted the immune system and attack on the tumor cells.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center doctors were amazed at the result of their experiment and requested for another dose on the patient after three weeks.  That was when they discovered that the tumors were gone and the woman was getting better.

Before, the tumor occupied a space on her chest wall and blood flow was blocked.  After the woman's doctor, Alex Chapman took some fluid for testing and the result came back negative after three weeks of taking the combined drugs.

Since Chapman has been studying immunotherapy, he was very glad on the outcome of the experiment and hoped to have positive reactions like the woman had and in a short span of time.  For the schedule of the next dose, the woman skipped it as per Chapman's orders but gave her Yervoy and Opdivo drugs before completely stopping on the treatment.  The adverse reaction would be diarrhea and a high percentage of toxicity.

On the patients that were treated with the same drugs, 50% of them out of the 142 patients that were studied, adverse side effect may be severe of a threat to life.  The 22%, wherein 16 patients had religiously taken the drugs had a positive response.  Cancer on Chapman's patients had miraculously melted away to the delight of the doctor.
