Russia has developed a mRNA-based cancer vaccine that targets existing tumors, not just preventing cancer. Set to be available for free to Russian citizens in 2025, the personalized vaccine uses parts of a patient’s tumor to help train the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
This promising treatment could revolutionize cancer care, with similar efforts being tested in other countries. Despite its high production cost, the Russian government plans to make it accessible to everyone, offering hope to those battling cancer.
