New mRNA cancer vaccine triggers fierce immune response to fight malignant brain tumor
In a first-ever human clinical trial of four adult patients, an mRNA cancer vaccine developed at the University of Florida quickly reprogrammed the immune system to attack glioblastoma, the most aggressive and lethal brain tumor.
Wow, this sounds quite promising. Always glad to see new cancer treatments beyond radiation and chemotherapy. Immunotherapy seems pretty cool.
I bore witness to my father dying from Grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiform over 12 months.
Not recommend.
At least he doesn't have to grieve my dead brother anymore.
My condolences. Brain tumours have affected my family as well.
I hope new treatments can spare future people from such a fate. Cancer is a complex and difficult disease to crack, but I'm sure we can eventually solve it.
