A recently approved cancer vaccine by United States has the potential to save thousands of lives across the world. It is being referred to as the “holy grail” of cancer treatment.
US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved Provenge, which is the world’s first approved therapeutic cancer vaccine, generally given to prostate cancer victims after detection of their cancerous tumors.
Researchers at Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, Wellington in New Zealand are also very close to developing a vaccine for cancer treatment. Currently, a vaccine for brain tumor is midway through a trial while another vaccine for treating melanoma has already been developed and is awaiting trail, as per researchers.
A leading researcher argued that therapeutic vaccines strengthen the human body’s immune system and attack the developing cancer in the body. Their biggest advantage over other therapies is that they have minimal side effects compared to other normally administered cancer therapies.
Many researchers are positive that these vaccines may even work against drug-resistant cancers which can significantly help a lot of cancer patients. Experts believe that one day it may be used to treat all types of cancers.
Provenge, the recently approved US vaccine costs $100,000 per shot and a patient may need up to 12 shots during a single round of treatment. It is still too costly to be adopted easily on a global scale, argue medical experts.
Experts stress that the US vaccine may boost global research into vaccines which may yield to the development of effective cancer treatment in the next two to three years time.
Its a great revolution. Hope us produce such kinds of vaccines in future diseases
This obviously is a scam just to make more money and an excess to mass vaccinate children and people of different ages.Same thing just like the HPV vaccine that turned out to be nothing more than a scam.
