Vaccines to Treat and Prevent Breast Cancer

We are at a tipping point for breast cancer vaccines. Recent discoveries have identified the type of immune response we need to eradicate cancers, numerous immunogenic proteins expressed by breast cancer that can be targeted with vaccines, and novel vaccine technologies that are safe an effective in generating immunity. These advances have been translated to breast cancer vaccines progressing rapidly int eh clinic for treatment, prevention of disease recurrence, and even prevent of the development of breast cancer.

It is heartbreaking to know that vaccines such as STEMVAC or AST301 have been developed, have been proven not to be harmful and they might be effective but not accessible to patients who need it. The sooner the patients are vaccinated the higher the chance of recurrence prevention
