This is a couple of months late, but this is an interesting read.
Scientists have developed a vaccine that essentially uses a person’s immune cells to target cancer. The results are “remarkably promising.” Some survivors have gone on to live for more than 7 years, far longer than the average 15-17 months.
This is the cancer that Senator John McCain is currently battling, and the same cancer that took the lives of Senator Ted Kennedy, Lit drummer Allen Shellenberger, and Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, among others.
Hopefully, this vaccine is really as successful as the preliminary trials suggest. As the BBC reported, the results give “new hope to the patients and clinicians battling with this terrible disease.”
