Scientists are developing a ‘groundbreaking’ lung cancer vaccine which research suggests will be effective in preventing up to 90 per cent of cases.
The jab — which will be given to those at highest risk of developing the disease — will train the immune system to spot and attack early signs of disease.
Experts described it as a ‘crucial moment’ in the fight against the devastating disease, which affects 48,500 in the UK every year.
Known as ‘LungVax’, it is being created by the University of Oxford, the Francis Crick Institute and University College London.
Lung cancer cells look different from normal cells due to having ‘red flag’ proteins called neoantigens.
…but will the vaccine cause you to die of 3 or more other causes.
Exactly! Just like the covid vax!
Another Covid vaccine?
Which has a higher death rate: lung cancer, or the vaccine?
