Breast Cancer Begone!

Researchers at the Arizona Mayo Clinic have developed a vaccine that actively attacks breast cancer cells in mice. This research is promising in treating nearly 90% of breast cancer and pancreatic cancer variations in humans, including many which are otherwise very difficult to treat. This research also indicates that it may be possible to attack other kinds of cancer in the body with this treatment, specifically ovarian and colon cancer. While no tests have been done on human subjects and the research is still new, there's some hope out there for those who deal with these kinds of cancer!
