Cancer Vaccine?

My question is thus, if there is a cancer vaccine come to market, would we be able to go back to using products that have been ruled 'not safe to use' on account of causing cancer? Such as effective cleaners for one.

They've been testing vaccines against all sorts of cancers for a very long time - the one against HPV works. I'd be very surprised if there was a single broad spectrum cancer vaccine ever - there are way too many varieties of cancer.

But to answer your question - no.

This was on the morning news. There is a vaccine that will block a cancer causing gene in women.

That's a clinical trial fluff piece......generally associated with getting investors and/or donors to open their wallets.

Wake me up when they get to Phase 3 trials.....and it's useful in a large percentage population.
