New York: A patient of Indian origin was among those who received a "miracle" cure with a cancer drug being tested by a research centre here, with all 14 patients in the experiment seeing their cancers disappear at an unparalleled rate.

Nisha Varughese described the immunotherapy drug's success in treating her as "a miracle."

"The rectal cancer disappeared after immunotherapy without the need for the standard treatments of radiation, surgery, or chemotherapy, and the cancer has not returned in any of the patients, who have been cancer-free for up to two years," according to the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center in New York.

This was the first time, according to researchers, that all of the patients in a cancer trial were entirely healed with a medicine and had no major side effects.

The trial's findings were published in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at an American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting over the weekend. It was described as "an early glimpse of a revolutionary treatment shift" in a Journal editorial.
