Cancer Vaccine Blocks Multiple Tumors in Mice For 250 Days

A cancer vaccine that prevents tumors before they form — that’s the breakthrough researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst are chasing. In early mouse studies, their experimental vaccine trained the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, preventing multiple types of tumors with up to 88% success. The secret lies in a “super adjuvant” — a nanoparticle that turbocharges immune response. While still far from human trials, the results hint at a future where prevention, not treatment, could define the fight against cancer. Michael Irving with Science Alert has the full story.
