Let's hope: Early test suggest vaccine can destroy tumor cells.















Early human test results suggest a vaccine can train cancer patients' bodies to seek out and destroy tumour cells.
 
The therapy, which targets a molecule found in 90 per cent of cancers, eventually could provide an injection that would allowpatients' immune systems to fight off common cancers including breast and prostate cancer.
 
The first results of trials in people, at the Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem, suggest the vaccine can reduce levels of disease. The human work is so preliminary it has yet to be published in a scientific journal.
