Doctor develops DNA vaccine to fight cancer
 

"Dr. Wei-Zen Wei and her colleagues at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit shook up the cancer research field last year when she published a paper that concluded a cancer vaccine had prevented laboratory mice from succumbing to one of the most virulent forms of breast cancer..

Wei's lab was the first in the world to develop the HER2 DNA vaccine. It was first tested on tumor cells that no longer responded to other therapies for HER2-positive breast cancer."

Hi
Thyanks for posting this article. I read about this vaccine last year but couldn't find out about any clinical trials. it's disappointing that it appears not to be effective metastatic disease particularly as it targets the immune system
