We Are On The Verge of a Revolution In the Treatment of Breast Cancer. It Is Up To Us Whether It Is In 5 or 25 Years.
With a Concerted Effort, We Can End Breast Cancer As A Fatal Illness -Not In Decades - But Years
Science has moved forward. Oncologists have learned how to develop affordable vaccines and immunotherapy that can prevent cancer or spread. Only 3 to 5% of existing cancer funding goes to breast cancer cure.
Interviews with giants in oncology described a field where there is such extraordinary promise but no coordination of efforts and minimal funding reflecting the old thinking that breast cancer cannot be prevented or stopped. We can change this with a concerted effort by the best and brightest in the field, a moonshot.
DNA vaccines can provide low-cost, personalized vaccines with little side affects similar to flu vaccines that are safer than current radiation based treatments.
Vaccines exist that have proven to prevent breast cancer from coming back but lack funding for widespread usage (read more).
