Russia has made the discovery of the century. The Russian government says it has developed its own cancer vaccine, which is expected to launch in early 2025, Russian news agency TASS has reported.
“Russia has developed its mRNA vaccine against cancer, it will be distributed to patients free of charge, General Director of the Radiology Medical Research Center of the Russian Ministry of Health Andrey Kaprin has told Radio Rossiya.”
Russia Developed A Cancer Vaccine
Director of the Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology Alexander Gintsburg told TASS.
“The vaccine’s pre-clinical trials had shown that it suppresses tumor development and potential metastases.”
Earlier this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in televised comments that.
“We have come very close to the creation of so-called cancer vaccines and immunomodulatory drugs of a new generation”.
AI Reduces Vaccine Development Time To An Hour
According to Gintsburg, the use of artificial neural networks during vaccine development can reduce the computing required to create a personalized cancer vaccine, which is currently a lengthy process, to less than an hour. The vaccine chief of Russia said,
“Now it takes quite a long to build [personalized vaccines] because computing how a vaccine, or customized mRNA, should look like uses matrix methods, in mathematical terms. We have involved the Ivannikov Institute which will rely on AI in doing this math, namely neural network computing where these procedures should take about half an hour to an hour.”
Role Of Vaccines In Cancer Management
Vaccines can fight cancer by stimulating the immune system to identify and attack cancer cells. Therapeutic cancer vaccines target specific proteins or antigens expressed by tumor cells, training the immune system to identify and destroy them. For instance, some vaccines use weakened or modified viruses to deliver these antigens, prompting a strong immune response. Preventive vaccines, like the HPV vaccine, protect against viruses linked to cancer, such as cervical cancer. By enhancing the body’s natural defenses, vaccines can slow tumor growth, prevent recurrence, or even eliminate early-stage cancers, offering a promising tool in oncology.
