Mayo Patient Remains Cancer Free After Measles Vaccine Treatment

Rochester, MN (Learfield News Service) -  A Mayo Clinic patient treated with a massive dose of the measles vaccine is still cancer-free five years later.

Stacy Erholtz underwent the experimental treatment for multiple myeloma pioneered by Dr. Stephen Russell, a professor of molecular medicine. She received enough measles vaccine to inoculate ten million people.

Russell is moving forward with his study after success with Erholtz.
