- 1Experts hail 'secret DNA' find as potential key to cancer vaccine●'Discovery of the century': Experts have found secret DNA that could unlock a cancer vaccine
Researchers describe the identification of previously overlooked DNA as a potential route toward a cancer vaccine, with some calling the finding a 'discovery of the century'. The work points to hidden genetic elements that could help the immune system recognise and attack tumours. Scientists say further research is needed before any vaccine can be developed, but the announcement has generated widespread attention.
- 2Infections Cause 1 in 8 Cancer Cases Worldwide, Study Finds▼1 in 8 cancer cases worldwide are caused by infections, study finds
A new study has found that infections cause roughly one in eight cancer cases worldwide. The finding points to the significant role viruses and bacteria play in triggering cancers, suggesting prevention through vaccination and treatment of infections could substantially reduce the global cancer burden.
- 3Cancer vaccine puts terminal patient into remission▼Exclusive | She was ready to die. Now she’s in remission — cancer vaccines could be the next big thing in medicine
A woman who had been prepared to die has entered remission after receiving an experimental cancer vaccine, in a report highlighting the technology as a possible next major advance in medicine. The case is being presented as evidence that therapeutic vaccines, which train the immune system to attack tumors, could transform cancer treatment.
- 4Cancer vaccines emerge as promising new frontier in medicine●She was ready to die. Now she’s in remission — cancer vaccines could be the next big thing in medicine
A terminal cancer patient who had accepted she was dying is now in remission after receiving an experimental cancer vaccine. Doctors say the case highlights the growing potential of personalized cancer vaccines, which train the immune system to attack tumors. The story is fueling optimism that such vaccines could become a major new tool in cancer treatment.
