Could COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines Pave the Way for Universal Cancer Treatment

A study from the University of Florida suggests that an experimental mRNA vaccine, combined with existing immunotherapies, could broadly stimulate the immune system to recognize and destroy various cancers, potentially leading to universal cancer prevention and treatment strategies. The vaccine activates immune responses that not only target tumors but also promote immune memory and epitope spreading, offering hope for more effective, off-the-shelf cancer therapies and preventive vaccines. However, these findings are based on mouse models, and human trials are needed to confirm safety and efficacy.
