Israel Develops Cancer Vaccine

[Iris]

Vaxil’s groundbreaking therapeutic vaccine, developed in Israel, could keep about 90 percent of cancers from coming back.

As the world’s population lives longer than ever, if we don’t succumb to heart disease, strokes or accidents, it is more likely that cancer will get us one way or another. Cancer is tough to fight, as the body learns how to outsmart medical approaches that often kill normal cells while targeting the malignant ones.

In a breakthrough development, the Israeli company Vaxil BioTherapeutics has formulated a therapeutic cancer vaccine, now in clinical trials at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem. If all goes well, the vaccine could be available about six years down the road, to administer on a regular basis not only to help treat cancer but in order to keep the disease from recurring.

It doesn't contain the same thing that other cancer reseachers (in america) used that had to stop because there was a patent on the gene, does it?

I actually think, and if you've lost someone to cancer i'm sorry, that we need it. We need cancer, and all the other diseases, because the earth will overpopulate. Could you imagine if we were all perfectley heathly, and everone lived until they were 100? Then there would be so many more people having children, and nobody would die except for unnatural causes. I think i'm sooo intellegent. xD but still, if i offended anyone who've lost someone to cancer, i truely apologise.
