Exclusive translation: Doctors from the British National Health Service (NHS) revealed the results of the vaccine they tested as the first vaccine to treat bowel cancer, and it may be available within two years.
In a step that is the first of its kind in the world, doctors are testing this vaccine on patients in the United Kingdom and Australia.
Scientists hope that the treatment, which is given in three doses two weeks apart, will train the immune system to fight the cancer and shrink its size.
Scientists said that, if successful, this treatment may eliminate the need for surgery to remove the tumor, while preventing any cancer from recurring in the future.
The vaccine targets a protein that causes a “break” in the immune system, essentially “activating” the body’s immune response, according to the Daily Mail.
Those responsible for developing the vaccine said: “This is the first therapeutic vaccine for any cancer in the digestive system, and we have high hopes that it will be very successful.”
The researchers added: “We believe that in many of these patients the vaccine will completely get rid of the cancer. This is the level we are talking about, not just shrinkage.”
