The vaccine will apparently be used to treat cancer patients, rather than given to the general public to prevent cancer—and it will be personalized to each patient. The Director of the Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology in Moscow, Alexander Gintsburg, previously told TASS that the vaccine could suppress tumor growth and stop cancer from spreading. Newsweek has emailed the Russian Ministry of Health, the Russian National Medical Research Radiological Center and the Gamaleya National Research Center to confirm the announcement and clarify how the vaccine works. |

It is conceivable to create one cure to cure them all. Probably not a vaccine in the traditional sense, some gene therapy, I have no idea if something is lost in translation here, thought I doubt they have created a cure. Imagine if you could go in and reprogram the cell to once again have a division limit, which all cancers have lost. Then the problem would solve itself. |
