The nanovaccine consists of tumor antigens—tumor proteins that can be recognized by the immune system—inside a synthetic polymer nanoparticle

Fred Hutch scientists led by Dr. Seth Pollack see signs of immune attack after injections of a bacteria-inspired drug, findings they presented at the AACR annual meeting

In the study, women who were given vitamin D3 and calcium supplements had 30 percent lower risk of cancer

Unexpected connection likely sabotaging vaccines designed to treat cancer

Discovery by UCLA researchers could be applied to other solid tumors such as breast and colon cancer

Consuming foods rich in isoflavones, found in soy, is associated with reduced mortality in women with hormone-receptor-negative breast cancer and women not treated with endocrine therapy

Most vaccines targeting tumor-associated antigens have had limited success so far in producing therapeutic effects against most cancers due to poor immunogenicity
