mRNA Vaccines Show Promise in Cancer Treatment and Research

Originally Published 6 days ago — by SciTechDaily

Research suggests that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines may enhance the immune response in cancer patients, leading to longer survival when combined with immunotherapy, especially in lung and skin cancers. The findings, based on patient data and mouse studies, indicate a potential for developing universal cancer vaccines, though further clinical trials are needed.

Electric fields device by Novocure shows promise in extending lung cancer survival.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by STAT

Novocure's medical device, Optune, which creates electric fields in the lungs via wearable skin patches, extended the survival of patients with lung cancer in a clinical trial. The study achieved its primary goal and showed a survival benefit for patients with lung cancer that progressed following initial chemotherapy. However, doubts remain as the data doesn't fit the current medical practice for patients with lung cancer.
