Finished Late Herceptin; Maybe Moving on to the E75 Vaccine
I am concidering the E75 Trial, now that I have finished 1 year of late herceptin. In May of 06, someone posted here that an onc and a phase I trial specialsist at the U of Colorado had recommended against the Her2 vaccines due to the possibility that T cells from vaccinated patients have shown to not be able to kill Her2 tumors; that possibly the cancer vaccine could make the immune system resistant to cancer.
That is the only time I have heard of this concern. Is anyone aware of other information that would support that idea?
I talked to someone yesterday from the Windber Medical Center to express my interest in possibly participating in the vaccine trial. I would like to concider the idea, but would like to know more about the vaccine making the immune system resistant to cancer.
Does anyone have anything to add? Thanks!
