A true breakthrough in several diseases , especially cancers eg Leukemia. Costly ( $1m per treatment) but costs will decline . This is the use of your own (tweaked) immune suppression systems to fight cancers.( see TED Talks etc).

However I’d like some to explain to me why/whether those who are triple negative might not be possible short term targets.
