Targeted mRNA Vaccines for Cancer: Training the Immune System to Destroy Tumors
What Are Targeted mRNA Vaccines for Cancer? Targeted messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines are a cutting-edge form of cancer immunotherapy. Unlike traditional treatments that attack tumors directly with chemotherapy or radiation, these vaccines aim to train the patient’s own immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. By delivering genetic instructions to cells, mRNA vaccines prompt…
