Cancer vaccine developed to boost lifespan of patients

The institute's creation "is not a classical vaccine, which is the means to prevent the illness", Kozlov said. "In fact, it is a cell therapy."


The vaccine is counteracting several types of cancer - colorectal (bowel) cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer - and the institute is ready to start its industrial production, Kozlov added.

However, the scientist added that other types of therapy were to be used as well, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
