Russia recently announced a groundbreaking cancer vaccine, slated to be distributed free of charge by 2025. This mRNA-based vaccine aims to treat patients by halting tumor growth rather than preventing cancer formation. According to Andrei Kaprin, head of the Russian Radiological Research Center, preliminary clinical trials indicate the vaccine’s potential to inhibit cancer spread. However, American scientists have voiced skepticism, with experts like Professor Kingston Mills calling for more clinical data before drawing any conclusions.
In addition, artificial intelligence is being explored to personalize cancer vaccines for each patient, potentially reducing the production time to less than an hour. Despite this innovation, concerns remain about the feasibility of a universal cancer vaccine, and researchers emphasize the need for transparency in clinical trials to assess the vaccine’s true efficacy.
