Cancer Vaccines
A cancer vaccine is a vaccine, that either treats existing cancer or prevents the development of cancer. Vaccines that treat existing cancer are called therapeutic cancer vaccines.Some/many of the vaccines are "autologous", being ready from samples taken from the patient, and are specific to it patient. Some kinds of cancer, like cervical cancer and some liver cancers, are caused by viruses (oncoviruses). traditional vaccines against those viruses, like HPV immunogen and hepatitis B vaccine, prevent those kinds of cancer.
