Cancer treatment: New super vaccine better than 'wonder drug' Herceptin

Cancer treatment: New super vaccine better than 'wonder drug' Herceptin | Mail Online: "A vaccine that could deal a serious blow to seven in ten lethal cancers has been developed by scientists.

In tests, it shrunk breast tumours by 80 per cent, and researchers believe it could also tackle prostate, pancreatic, bowel and ovarian cancers.

Even tumours that resist treatment with the best medicines on the market, including the ‘wonder drug’ Herceptin, may be susceptible to the vaccine."
