has anyone heard concerns about a cancer vaccine making the immune system resistant or tolerant to the cancer? ive spoken to my science friends and my oncologist who say this is a big concern with peptide vaccines. i also saw a phase I trial specialist at u. colorado who recommended against the HER2 vaccines given at u. washington (seattle) for that reason. she said it could make the immune system tolerant, and that t cells from vaccinated patients have been shown to not be able to kill her2 positive tumors anymore. thoughts?
