Cuba claims to have first vaccine against lung cancer
Cuba announced its registration of the first therapeutic vaccine for lung cancer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], named CIMAVAX-EGF,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the world here on Monday.Gisela Gonzalez,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], project head at the Molecular Immunology Center in Havana,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said over 1,000 patients on the island have received treatment successfully with the vaccine.
She explained that CIMAVAX-EGF provides patients with the ability to turn the advanced cancer into a "manageable chronic disease". "CIMAVAX-EGF is the result of over 15 years of research,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which does not cause severe side effects," she said."It's based on a protein that we all have: the epidermal growth factor, related to the processes of cell proliferation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which makes the cancer out of control," she said
Gonzalez said it was necessary to create "a composition able to generate antibodies against this protein."This vaccine is given when the patient finishes the treatment with radiotherapy or chemotherapy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it is considered a "terminal without alternative therapy" because it helps "to control the growth of the tumor without associated toxicity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she pointed out.
"CIMAVAX-EGF can also be used as a chronic treatment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which increases the expectations and quality of life for patients,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Gonzalez added.She concluded that the vaccine is currently being assessed as a therapy against prostate, uterus and breast tumors.
