What is the goal of the vaccine? What breast cancer patients can qualify for it and is it only being tried at UW? How long has this study or trial been going on and what are the results to date? I don't know anything about it obviously!

Thanks for helping me out

This is for stage 3 or stage 4 Her2+++ breast or ovarian cancer patients in remission. This is a DNA vaccine which is offered only at UW seattle. You can see more details at their website http://depts.washington.edu/tumorvac/trials.php
