An experimental vaccine may be able to prevent or treat a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer, according to new findings from UW Medicine researchers.In a decade-long Phase I human trial, the vaccine created a strong immune response to proteins that cause tumors to grow aggressively, researchers said in: About 264,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed annually in women and about 2,400 in men in the U.S.
To harness that reaction, Disis and her colleagues created a DNA vaccine which is absorbed by cells at the site of the injection. Those cells then start to produce the protein encoded in the vaccine’s DNA instructions which prompts a strong cytotoxic immune response, the study found.
