Cancer Vaccine for 90 Percent of Cancers Potentially Developed

[FourScore]

There seem to be a number of posts expressing disbelief of this vaccine. Here are some peer-reviewed articles to give this information more legitimacy:

Hopes this helps. You can also google MUC1 for more info.

Cancer Vaccine for 90 Percent of Cancers Potentially Developed
by Mets102

Cancer caused 7.6 million deaths worldwide in 2008, some 13% of all deaths worldwide according to the World Health Organization. In the United States, it caused the death of 569,490 people in 2010 (PDF), per the statistics reported by the American Cancer Society. Now, imagine these numbers going down by 90% overnight. Imagine less than 1 million cancer deaths worldwide. Imagine less than 60,000 cancer deaths in the United States. It might seem like a pipe dream. It might seem like something that will take many, many years of research and testing. It might seem like that day is decades away...

...A cancer vaccine developed by the Israeli biotech company Vaxil BioTherapeutics is now entering into Phase III clinical trials (make that Phase I/II). If it gets to, and passes, the Phase III trials (as the Merck and Oncothyreon treatment, Stimuvax, is currently in) it would go to the respective national regulatory bodies and finally enter the market in about six years. Explaining how ImMucin works:

The company says that ImMucin is designed to tell the body which cells to attack, by enhancing the immune system so that it can track down and destroy the cancer. Julian Levy, the CEO of Vaxil, told United With Israel, "the body knows something is not quite right but the immune system doesn’t know how to protect itself against the tumor like it does against an infection or virus. This is because cancer cells are the body’s own cells gone wrong..."

...The new vaccine works by activating the immune system by “training” T-cells to search and destroy cells with the MUC1 molecule, typically found only on cancer cells. More than 90% of common solid tumor cancers bear the MUC1 molecule, as well as many non-solid tumors, including lymphoma, leukemia and multiple myeloma...
