Russia Claims Cancer Vaccine Ready for Use in 2025
December 17th, 2024Via: Daily Mail:
Russia’s health ministry claims it has developed a vaccine against cancer that will be rolled out to patients for free.
Andrey Kaprin, who heads the Radiology Medical Research Center of the Ministry of Health, said the shot will launch in early 2025, according to state-run media.
The vaccine will apparently be used to treat cancer patients, rather than being given to the general public to prevent tumors from forming in the first place.
Previous comments by Russian government scientists suggest each shot is personalized for the individual patient, which is similar to cancer vaccines being developed in the West.
It is currently not clear which cancers the vaccine is designed to treat, how effective it is or how Russia plans to roll it out.
The name of the vaccine has not been revealed.
