Vaccination period begins in cancer treatment. As a result of scientific studies that have been going on for many years and are now certain, vaccines with mRNA developed against coronavirus have become hope in cancer treatment. An American biotechnology company has announced that it has created a cancer vaccine using MRNA genetic material. 157 people in the 3rd and 4th stages of melanoma, a type of skin cancer, participated in the study, in which the cancer vaccine with mRNA was used. In many patients, the vaccine cleared the tumor.
PROF. DR. DEMİRAY: “10 TIMES BETTER”
According to the news in ATV Haber; Medical Oncology Specialist Prof. Dr. Mutlu Demiray said in a statement, “When you do personalized cancer treatment, the results are about 10 times better. Look, it’s 10 times, not 10-20 percent. MRNA constantly disrupts the structure of the cancerous cell and produces protein, and the immune system catches it. The immune system goes directly and attacks the tumor. Everyone The same chemotherapy period is over. The treatment is personal. The vaccine is also personal.” he said.
IT WILL BE APPLIED TO ALL CANCER PATIENTS
While phase-3 studies were started in cancer treatment with mRNA, it was learned that the vaccine would be applied to all cancer patients in a few years.
WHEN WILL IT BE APPLIED IN TURKEY?
Prof. Dr. Demiray said, “After the phase-3 studies are completed, it will first be established in the USA. It will be established simultaneously with Europe, perhaps in Turkey. I think we will start these works for our country in 2026-2027”, citing diabetes patients as an example. “Imagine that you get the same vaccine done on cancer cells and every 3 months, every 6 months, just as a diabetes patient vaccinates himself 3-4 times a day,” he said.
UĞUR ŞAHİN and ÖZLEM TÜRECİ COUPLE ARE WORKING ON CANCER TREATMENT
On the other hand, Uğur Şahin-Özlem Türeci couple, whose MRNA vaccine they developed against Kovid-19 is widely used in the world, announced that they are working on treatments targeting various types of cancer, especially intestinal cancer and melanoma.
