Lung cancer vaccine shows promise
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15401739

A vaccine which triggers the immune system to attack the most common type of lung cancer has shown promise in early clinical trials, say researchers.

Tests on 148 patients, reported in the Lancet Oncology, showed that adding the vaccine to chemotherapy slowed the cancer's progression.

However, its effect on overall survival was limited and further trials are now needed.

Cancer Research UK said there were many unanswered questions.



***these vaccines won't have a penis or vagina -- so i'm guessing no alarmed response from folks:eyes:

Well, neither does the MMR, so one can never tell!
