🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine Just Changed the Game One of the deadliest cancers finally has a new weapon In a Phase 1 trial, 7 of 8 patients who responded to a personalized mRNA vaccine were ALIVE 6+ years later For context, pancreatic cancer has a 5-year survival rate of just ~13%.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial

Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

A med student asked me today: "If sore throats are caused by viruses or bacteria, why does drinking ice-cold water or sleeping directly under the AC seem to trigger one almost instantly?" It's a great question and the answer surprises almost everyone. Let me explain it.🧵

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: The mRNA technology behind COVID vaccines has reached a historic milestone against cancer. A personalized mRNA vaccine reduced the risk of melanoma returning or causing death by nearly 50% over 5 years. www.nbcnews.com/health/cance...

A personalized vaccine for melanoma cut the risk of cancer returning after five years

If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.
