Is a cancer vaccine even possible as a concept? Would it even be classified as a vaccine since cancer isn't a virus?
Obviously creating preventative measures for cancer would be amazing but I figured that wasn't even a subject we were broaching since treating it is hard enough
It's totally possible and it already exists. You train your immune system (that's the complicated part, you have to feed it some part of cancer cells and make it understan that's the bad guys. Which is very complicated) to fight the cancerous cells.
Let's not firget there are around 300 families of cancer and there isn't any vaccine against all of them obviously.
That said, from russia it is obvious bs.
