Commentary by @lisamjarvis on promising results from small #pancreaticcancer vaccine study led by Memorial Sloan Kettering oncologists who teamed up w/ BioNTech: 1 lesson is that it’s possible to create a mRNA vaccine quickly enough 2 make a difference bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…"Much like Moderna & Merck’s cancer vaccine, which recently generated excitement for its potential to prevent melanoma from returning, these shots are tailored to a patient’s own tumor. Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers sent samples to BioNTech in Germany, where the tumor was analyzed to determine which mutations might elicit a helpful immune response. The recipe for up to 20 of those proteins were encoded in a personalized mRNA vaccine that was mailed back to the oncologists. Technology — inexpensive and rapid genome sequencing, AI, and mRNA — made it possible for patients to get their first doses in about nine weeks after their surgery."

The 5-year survival rate for liver cancer increases when caught early, but the standard of care for HCC surveillance has its challenges. With a dedication to patient engagement and rigorous clinical investigation, we are working to advance a new approach to detect HCC earlier.
