Three patients fight cancer with genetically tailored vaccines
Researchers are making progress toward a new way to fight cancer, combining genetic sequencing with the power of vaccinations. Genetically tailored vaccines were used to provoke an immune response in three patients with advanced forms of skin cancer, according to a study published in Science today. The study is pretty significant; it’s the first record of a vaccine causing the production of cancer-fighting cells that target specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells in humans.
