Although there have been significant advances in the detection and treatment of cancer, a definitive cure has not yet been found. However, if an optimal, effective vaccine against cancer were found, it would change Medicine and would be a revolutionary event in the health as well as in the quality of life of people throughout the world.
It is the objective that different Universities and medical research teams have set themselves: to try to eradicate cancer using all possible means, from the help of Artificial Intelligence to conventional means.
An effective vaccine that would fight –or eliminate- cancer would be a definitive step towards eliminating thousands of deaths. Most vaccines work by stimulating the body’s immune system to produce antibodies against a specific pathogen, such as a virus or bacteria. If a cancer vaccine were found, it would work in a similar way by stimulating the immune system so that it repels the attack of cancer cells before they become a tumor.
In addition to preventing the onset of cancer, an effective vaccine could also be used to treat existing cancer. At present, treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy are invasive and can have serious side effects. A cancer vaccine, on the other hand, could be administered non-invasively and with fewer side effects. This would mean a significant improvement in the quality of life of cancer patients.
Other implications
If an effective cancer vaccine were to be found, it would also have significant, significant economic implications. Cancer is one of the diseases that has the greatest economic impact on the “coffers” of Health. A cancer vaccine would drastically reduce the costs associated with cancer treatment. Cancer patients and their families would also benefit significantly from reduced health care costs.
In addition, a cancer vaccine would have implications for the way cancer research is researched and funded. Currently, much of the focus in cancer research is on treatment and early detection. If an effective cancer vaccine were found, this would shift the focus of research to cancer prevention.
Although the discovery of an effective cancer vaccine would be a significant milestone in the history of medicine, it would not be a silver bullet that would solve all cancer-related problems.
An effective vaccine could prevent the onset of cancer in some cases, there would still be many risk factors for cancer that could not be eliminated.
Furthermore, the vaccine would not be effective in all cases, and there would be a continuing need for treatment and early detection. Added care or avoiding unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as poor diet or excess tobacco or alcohol, seriously damage health and it is something that can be started to be avoided starting from the person himself.
Perhaps we are soon to find that “almost magical” remedy and, meanwhile, you can take care of your health.
