Cancer vaccines represent a promising approach to cancer treatment and prevention with several potential benefits:
- Targeted Treatment: They offer a more targeted approach compared to traditional therapies like chemotherapy and radiation, which can affect both healthy and cancerous cells. - Reduced Side Effects: Because they specifically target cancer cells, vaccines may have fewer side effects. - Long-lasting Protection: They can provide long-lasting immunity against cancer recurrence. - Personalized Medicine: Therapeutic vaccines can be tailored to the individual patientâs cancer, enhancing their effectiveness.
