It looks like breast cancer prevention and therapy could become as easy as better screening and a shot in the arm.
Researchers at Cleveland Clinic say a breast cancer vaccine has shown promising results in animal studies, preventing cancer in a single shot.
If successful, the breast cancer vaccine will join two other cancer-preventive vaccines approved by The Food and Drug Administration (FDA): one against cervical cancer and the other against liver cancer.
While these vaccines target and kill the human papillomavirus (HPV) and the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) the breast cancer vaccine will focus on preventing cancer in healthy people and stopping growth of existing tumors.
The key is to find a target within the tumor not typically found in a healthy person. For breast cancer, Vincent Tuochy, Ph.D., the vaccine's principal investigator and an immunologist at Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Institute and his research team chose α-lactalbumin.

How would you feel if you had contacted HPV from a partner you trust and love

To all of us who positive stay strong and need people to win this fight, whether it’s family, friends or a support group, people are the key. pózlóving.℃○M~ is such a free site.

See most people dont dare touch this right here but it happens every single day and in fact this is the most common way people catch this disease through someone you trust that has two or more sexual partners.
