If this becomes viable - which would be amazing! -, how long does this take to become available in most countries?

Hopefully, the researchers will be fully employed by the EU. I wouldn't trust the US to not fuck up this miracle.
While the formulation isn't unlike the Covid-19 vaccine, which uses lipid nanoparticles to deliver the genetic instructions to the body, it is still somewhat different. Instead of the drug encoding a virus protein, it sends a message to the immune system to rally the troops. It essentially tells the body to produce certain proteins that stimulate the immune system – including a protein within cancer cells known as PD-L1 (Programmed Death-Ligand 1), which makes tumors become more visible to immune cells.
TLDR: they are finding that it’s more effective to make cancer more visible and have the body’s immune system do its thing.
It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation treatment.
I read that as: Will never reach the market because it threatens a multibillion dollar industry.
But srsly, glioblastoma is a really nasty motherfucker with a very low patient survival rate, so if they've really managed to cure it that's a huge milestone.
Rfk is about to wake up and fire everyone doing this research.
I'm gonna be watching with popcorn when anti-vaxxers get cancer and definitely 100% will take this vaccine.
I mean, if it's true and not just shit science reporting that I assume it is.
In this study on mice...
Took them 7 paragraphs to get around to mentioning that.
What is the catch?
It causes cancer.
Besides that, I assume it comes at the cost of...unintended consequences for the body
Too bad we got a Sociopathic Oligarchs as HSS, who thinks mRNA vaccines should be banned. Cancer is better than...well, whatever is wrong with mRNA vaccines.
Previous research has focused more on homing in on a target or tailoring a vaccine specific to a patient's own cancer profile.
"This study suggests a third emerging paradigm," said study co-author Duane Mitchell, MD. "What we found is by using a vaccine designed not to target cancer specifically but rather to stimulate a strong immunologic response, we could elicit a very strong anticancer reaction. And so this has significant potential to be broadly used across cancer patients – even possibly leading us to an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine."
So... Kinda triggering your own auto-inmune response. But I'd be wary of trouble with overtly aggressive auto-inmune responses, as we already have quite a few diseases coming from these, as well.
Yeah i've had RA since i was 12, that explaination of function just made my brain screech
I guess if I was gonna die and absolutely wanted more time I would make the trade off for living with lupus
As someone with an autoimmune disorder, I'm honestly not all that sold on whether that's a good tradeoff.
Yay, you're not acutely dying of cancer, but now your body is attacking your internal organs and depending on how shitty your luck is, you can eg. look forward to liver and/or kidney transplants (possibly more than once, too)
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are already a relatively common therapy for several types of cancer.
This sounds like the intro plot to one of those zombie movies...
Conservatives will somehow find a way to level this as devil worshiping blasphemy and let their children die of brain cancer instead.
This is how I Am Legend starts.
Any cancer? How does this work with people who have gene mutations that suppress cancer-fighting defence systems.
Republicans "universal? Not on my watch"
Universal Cancer Vaccine? WASTE OF MONEY, CUT IT!
-The Trump Administration!
Curing (or at least improving our treatments for) cancer would be great. There's a small part of me that absolutely does not want to see it happen within the next few years because of the current administration. It'd still be an overwhelmingly good thing to accomplish but I dread the future arguments over the time Dr. Don and Bobby got together in the lab to cure cancer through the power of Jesus, bootstraps and grit.
But won’t the thimerosal in the cancer vaccine give everyone autism? Cancer is better than autism!
/s (duh)
I was recently in a conference about synthetic biological approaches to deal with cancer. The only quote I wrote down was "this approach kills cancer in a petri dish, but so does a shotgun"
Sweet baby Jesus, is this it? Is this finally the cure for cancer that everyone's been waiting for?
Sounds great, but don't get excited, it's not for you. It will be priced so that poorz can't afford it, like 5-15 mil a pop
What a load of bollocks. Natural cell mutation causes both evolution as well as unwanted side effects, of which cancerous cells are one.
Biologically, this argument makes no sense, it's almost certainly written by somebody not familiar with physiology and just trying to sound poetic. That or a journalists severely misinterpreting a quote or analogy from a researcher, which also happens quite a lot.
Cancers have a gigantic variety of causes, but a purposeful signaling pathway is not one.
Every cancer and every body is different. Why search for universal cancer vaccine insted for AI tha will analyze individual biopsy and persons blood work and came up with targetet 100 % efficient cure?
You need to let the scientists know this! I’m sure your insights will be very valuable to them.
Why have we been funding researchers when the true answers have been out there on the internet, where we train our valued AI partners? See, AI could have told us we should look to AI for all the solutions! But it needs genius randos on the internet to give them these insights to train on.
I'd rather go to a literal butcher and ask them to use the cleaver and hope for the best, before i let any fucking tech bro asshole billionaire mess with my body
He has a point though. In medicine AI actually has its uses, like spotting cancers better than humans can, decoding proteins, and solving protein folding problems.
We're of course talking about AI in the same way any scientist uses a computer, not replacing humans with a glorified text processor.
No please, no. We don't need this, please
Those in power will live longer and you're an idiot if you think that they will not be the first if not the only to receive the treatment.
Are you prepared to see Trump's fifth turn?
This vaccine supposedly kills cancer. It doesn't reverse aging. Trump is fucking oooollld.
It's part of a growing body of evidence that suggests mRNA vaccines might be a serious weapon in fighting the disease.
Those are the vaccines for which the US Government is defunding research and trying to restrict access, because RFK Jr. and MAGA find things they don't understand scary, and there is no shortage of things they don't understand.
Magas and Brainworms Jr. might be stupid, but he's just the useful idiot doing the work of the heath insurance, pharmaceutical and medical corps.
There's a shit ton of money to be made from the sick, dying and desperate. The cure for cancer will bankrupt them all.
mRNA
Oops, sorry Americans.
Enjoy watching your family members die of cancer because you choose stupidity.
Now this for sure sounds too good to be true.
Or it will give us all autoimmune diseases
It should really be clarified that this is not a vaccine in the sense of being preventative. It is a treatment after cancer has happened that can also work in tandem with other therapy. I have personal ire with whoever decided to call this type of treatment a vaccine but it is an established terminology now.
The potential issues with this are numerous (as with most cancer therapy). Immune cell exhaustion, cytokine release storm, general tissue damage and dead cell clearance issues, etc. However, early data is promising.
Will this give me the 5G and make me magnetic?
