"UK Scientists Develop Groundbreaking Lung Cancer Vaccine Using DNA Technology"
TL;DR
Scientists in the UK have been granted funding to develop the world's first lung cancer vaccine, called LungVax, using technology similar to the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID vaccine. The vaccine aims to train the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, potentially saving thousands of lives. If successful, the project could lead to a significant advancement in preventing lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer death in the EU, with cigarette smoking being the largest risk factor.
