Future for fighting breast cancer may be a vaccine

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:54:06 GMT

The future for fighting breast cancer may be a vaccine.    Researchers at Cleveland Clinic started working on the preventive tool 20 years ago. Now they are enrolling patients in early safety and efficacy trials.The experimental vaccine is designed to fight triple -negative breast cancer, the most aggressive form that accounts for 15 percent of cases. The three-shot regimen targets a lactation protein expressed in the majority of triple negative tumors. If breast cancer develops, the body’s immune system is alerted to attack the protein-carrying tumor cells and keep them from growing. More from ‘Stories of Hope: Facing Breast Cancer’ Jennifer Davis, a mother of three, was the first person to receive the injections. She was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in 2018.Early phase study results are expected by the end of 2023.

Concerns about civilians in Gaza, who have already been struggling with Israeli airstrikes and blackouts, among other difficulties, and what could happen to them amidst the Israeli incursion into Gaza, have been heightened.“We have set two goals for this war: To eliminate Hamas by destroying its military and governing abilities and to do everything possible to bring our captives home. All Hamas terrorists are dead men walking — above ground, below ground, outside Gaza,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a speech earlier this week. Trump also turned his verbal f...
