Cancer is under control.
The first patient completed the course of treatment with the Russian cancer vaccine. For about five months, no new metastases were discovered in him, academician Alexander Gunzburg told us.
The patient is diagnosed with melanoma. In the past he had metastases, and the reports of their disappearance are not true, the scientist clarified. The point is that no new ones have appeared. The man now undergoes monthly CT scans.
A personalized mRNA vaccine is created to help the immune system fight tumors. Experts hope to use it to control the disease. The patient will be monitored for three years.
