I believe my uncle was part of that experimental treatment (at that same hospital) but it wasn't for Leukemia (different trial? it seems to be the same treatment though). I believe he was in those trials last summer, but he passed away in November.
Kind of crazy, I know people have done this kind of stuff (not necessary for cancer), use one thing to kill another thing, and we look back and say "holy fata these scientists were f'in crazy" ... makes me wonder what kind of stuff people in 50 years will look back on us and say the same thing.
Lots of things attempting on cancer, treatments at various stages. From the drug delivery to crazy stuff like this, diagnostics, early testing... a patent was filed last year to detect early stages of cancer through someones breath (similar to a dogs senses) and I guess the idea would be to put these things into cell phones, and they would monitor your health through your breath... if there are changes (I believe it was 83% accuracy, new patent topology proposes high 90%'s accuracy) in your breath, Apple's new health care kit could send you a message to go see a doctor for early testing. They got seed funding a few months ago and recently incorporated. (I'm employee #4 in this company!)
