Il tenta d'infecter par des bactéries des personnes souffrant de cancer et mit au point un vaccin, composé de bactéries tuées, capable d'induire une réaction immunitaire antitumorale. Ces traitements immunothérapeutiques (ils luttent contre la maladie en utilisant les défenses de l'organisme) ont été efficaces chez certains individus, mais l'incohérence des résultats a restreint leur utilisation.
