Russia "Very Close" To Creating Cancer Vaccines, Says Vladimir Putin
Vladimir Putin has announced that Russia is on the brink of developing new cancer vaccines and advanced immunomodulatory medications.
He expressed hope in a televised forum on future technologies that these treatments will soon be effective for individual therapy. Details on the cancer types or mechanisms were not provided.
Globally, efforts to develop cancer vaccines are underway. The UK is partnering with BioNTech on personalized cancer treatments with clinical trials planned for 10,000 patients by 2030. Additionally, Moderna and Merck's melanoma vaccine has shown promising results in reducing recurrence and mortality rates.
The World Health Organization recognizes six approved HPV vaccines that prevent certain cancers, including cervical cancer, and vaccines for hepatitis B, which can lead to liver cancer.
Russia, which developed the Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine and distributed it internationally, faced domestic hesitation towards vaccination. Putin, who received the Sputnik vaccine, endorsed its effectiveness and safety.
