https://www.yahoo.com/news/covid-jab-team-creates-vaccine-131239087.html "Scientists have made a cancer vaccine breakthrough after manufacturers behind the Pfizer Covid jab used the same technology to stop the disease returning. The vaccine, custom-made for each patient, can trigger the immune system to attack tumour cells and successfully keep the disease at bay. Experts behind the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 jab teamed up with doctors in New York to develop the vaccine for pancreatic cancer patients. The phase I results of its clinical trial, the first of its kind, were presented this weekend at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)’s annual conference in Chicago. It is hoped the findings could herald a new era of treatment for other hard-to-treat cancers, as pancreatic cancer is often known as the “poster child” for such deadly tumours."
Good news if it works! Pancreatic cancer has such a huge fatality rate. I think it's normally something like 80-90% fatal?
The 5-year survival rate is 8%, which is the lowest of all cancers studied. Even brain cancer is more survivable. I'm not sure why. https://ourworldindata.org/cancer-death-rates-are-falling-five-year-survival-rates-are-rising
