"Breast Cancer Vaccine Possible, Scientists Say"

Hope this turns out to be monumental, and works.....







SUNDAY, May 30 (HealthDay News) -- A study in mice suggests that a preventive breast cancer vaccine might be possible in humans, scientists say.

Women may begin taking part in the next stage of research as soon as next year, they added.


"We believe that this vaccine will someday be used to prevent breast cancer in adult women in the same way that vaccines have prevented many childhood diseases," principal investigator Vincent Tuohy, an immunologist in Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute, said in a news release. "If it works in humans the way it works in mice, this will be monumental. We could eliminate breast cancer."

I really hope something comes of this. It would be very helpful for everyone involved if it works. I worry about my wife with this as she does have an increased risk of breast cancer. This would go a long way to putting some of our fears to rest. Provided it doesn't cause a host of other crazy side effects.

If big pharma won't profit from it,
it will not be approved.

That's just how big pharma works.
