Scientists from the Institute of Clinical Immunology in the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences have now developed a vaccine for different forms of carcinoma (cancer). The Professor, Vladimir Kozlov has pronounced that the vaccine has passed clinical testing and currently there are patients now being treated with this vaccine. The vaccine right now is given to patients in the third to fourth stage of cancer and has been reported that the patients lifespan has increased by twofold. Scientists explain the vaccine by saying “We are deriving dendritic cells from the human body and loading them with tumor antigens," "Dendritic cells process them, then we inject the cells into the patient and they start working in the body evoking a strong immune response. That is, they are actively fighting the tumor." "it is not a classical vaccine, which is the means to prevent the illness", Professor Kozlov said. "In fact, it is cell therapy."
The vaccine counteracts prostate, bowel and breast cancer. These creations really bring the future of science into a huge spectrum of hope for there to be that one day that cancer will be equivalent to the common cold.
