Breast Cancer Vaccine Studies: The Goal for Treating Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Evelyn Taiwo, MD, explains how a breast cancer vaccine will work. The idea of a vaccine for breast cancer has been discussed by scientists for a number of years. Still, developing such a vaccine has been difficult because researchers need to find something in breast cancer cells the vaccine can target — like a protein or genetic mutation — that isn’t in healthy cells. Thanks to innovative research and advances in genetic sequencing, scientists at several institutions think they have found breast cancer vaccine targets and are now conducting clinical trials.
