our medical editor fergus walsh reports. oh, this one s hard. the whole experience has brought me so much closer with my family. alyssa is back home in leicester thanks to a pioneering new cancer therapy. all other treatment options for her leukaemia had failed. breathe in and breathe out. thank you. that s a good one. so, in may, she received a world first therapy. i know that i ve helped other children as well, that other children might be able to get cured because of the research that i ve been part in. it is extremely exciting. so, obviously, this is a new field in medicine and it s fascinating that we can redirect the immune system to fight cancer. alyssa s immune system couldn t clear her cancer, so she was given donor cell, which had been tweaked using a new technique called base editing .
her immune system could not clear kansas as she was given donor cells that have been tweaked with a new procedure called base editing . three new cells were added to the dna, armed to fight cancer. base editing is part of a genetic revolution which is transforming our understanding of human biology. it is an incredibly precise tool with huge potential to treat and possibly cure a range of diseases, especially disorders of the blood. ten children with t cell leukaemia will have the treatment as part of a clinical trial. , ., ., , trial. there is enormous amounts trial. there is enormous amounts of trial. there is enormous amounts of innovation l trial. there is enormous| amounts of innovation in trial. there is enormous - amounts of innovation in terms of how we can use these new tools to manipulate and change bits of dna and our applications to cure diseases, i think there is enormous potential across the board.
