A customized kidney cancer vaccine made from patients’ tumors looked promising in a small study, @drchoueiri.bsky.social et al report in @nature.com. None of the 9 treated people experienced recurrence. Larger trial of mRNA vaccine underway. www.cancerhealth.com/article/pers...

Personalized Vaccine May Help Prevent Kidney Cancer Recurrence

None of the nine patients who received the vaccine after surgery experienced recurrence over three years.
