An experimental breast cancer vaccine may eventually help treat or prevent up to 80% of breast cancers according to preliminary tests.

Researchers say the vaccine is based on the protein mammaglobin-A which has been found in 80% of breast cancer tumors but is largely absent in normal healthy breast cells.

In a new study researchers found that vaccination against the protein reversed tumor growth in mice bred to have breast cancer. The vaccine is thought to work by stimulating the immune system to launch an attack against breast cancer tumor cells.

I saw this as a reply in another thread; is the intention here to generate sales?

I'm sure it is. At work there's a woman who sells Goji Juice. She pushes it on everyone. As far as I'm concerned, it's snake oil.

This is the ONLY reply that appears (repeatedly)
 
and because of this, I belive this is a sales pitch.
