The title says may, but it's a very optimistic title anyway. From the article:

> However, the research has been tested only in animals and on cells in the laboratory, and more safety checks would be needed before human trials could start.

> Lucia Mori and Gennaro De Libero, from University of Basel in Switzerland, said the research had "great potential" but was at too early a stage to say it would work in all cancers.




The abstract closes:

> These findings offer opportunities for HLA-independent, pan-cancer, pan-population immunotherapies.

So it hasn't come (to the journalists) from nowhere.
