Breast Cancer Vaccine Prevents Cancer in Mice, Same Result Hoped for Humans
American scientists have developed a vaccine which has prevented breast cancer from developing in mice and are now planning to conduct trials of the drug in humans. It is expected to be several years until the vaccine would be widely available. The vaccine targets a protein found in most breast tumors and is hoped to be used to prevent breast cancer in adult women the same way that vaccines have prevented many childhood diseases. In the study, half of the mice were vaccinated with and half without a vaccine containing á-lactalbumin. None of the mice vaccinated with á-lactalbumin developed breast cancer. Therefore, if it works in humans as it did with the mice, breast cancer could be eliminated.
