Doctors in seven countries have started the world’s first patient trials of a new mRNA vaccine against lung cancer.
The lung cancer vaccine, known as BNT116 and developed by Germany’s BioNTech, is designed to target non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancer. Its goal is to eliminate cancer cells and, at the same time, prevent them from coming back by training the immune system to recognize these cancer cells and attack them.
Unlike chemotherapy, the vaccine attacks the cancer cells and does not destroy healthy cells around them. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death. Experts say the mRNA vaccine could save thousands of lives.
According to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (AMNA), the phase 1 clinical trial, the first study of BNT116 in humans, has begun at 34 research institutions in seven countries: the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain, and Turkey.
A total of approximately 130 patients—from first-stage patients before surgery or radiation to advanced stage or metastatic cancer—will receive the vaccine alongside immunotherapy.
Grecian Delight supports Greece Similar to the COVID-19 vaccines, mRNA provides the immune system with cancer markers from MRSA to train the body to attack cancer cells that express these markers. The goal is to boost the patient’s immune system to respond to cancer.
Patient tests lung cancer vaccine According to British newspaper The Guardian, the first patient in the United Kingdom was administered the vaccine for the purpose of fighting lung cancer on Tuesday, marking a critical milestone for the study.
Janusz Racz, 67, from London, was the first person to get the vaccine for lung cancer in the UK. He was diagnosed with cancer in May and had already begun chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
As an AI scientist, Racz said his profession inspired him to take part in the trial. “I am a scientist too, and I understand that the progress of science—especially in medicine—lies in people agreeing to be involved in such investigations,” he said.
He added that the new methodology is not available to other patients so the “new methodology not available for other patients can help me to get rid of the cancer.”
The patient also said that the faster the new mRNA vaccine is “implemented across the world, [the] more people will be saved.”
Oncology Professor Siow Ming Lee of University College London Hospital’s NHS foundation trust (UCLH), told the newspaper that this is the beginning of a “very exciting new era” in cancer research.
British Science Secretary Lord Vallance of Balham expressed his optimism on the trial and underlined that this lung cancer vaccine could save thousands of lives.
Dame Cally Palmer, national cancer director of NHS England, told BBC that shots like this one could be “revolutionary” in vaccinating people against their own cancers to prevent the disease from returning.
“A cancer diagnosis is very worrying, but access to groundbreaking trials—alongside other innovations to diagnose and treat cancers earlier—provides hope. We expect to see thousands more patients taking part in trials over the next few years,” she said.
Except liberals. They deny this risk and urge you to get more shots.
Remember years ago a guy said soon he’ll have the cure for cancer
That last mRNA worked out so well...
Every human being has millions of damaged DNA cells created in body every day. It could be from smoking, drinking alcohol, indigestion, inflammation, stress etc.
But every human being does not develop cancer tumors because the immune system can recognize cancer cells as abnormal, and kill them.
Some human being’s body loses that ability to recognize abnormal cells, for whatever reason. Then cancer takes hold. Cancer cells grow faster than normal cells. And they spread to other parts in body.

No, only anti-vaxxers ‘know’ that.
BTW, you should read the links you post.
It has not been shown that Covid-19 vaccines cause or accelerate cancer. Yet opponents of the vaccines say a new review article “has found that Covid-19 mRNA vaccines could aid cancer development.” That statement is based mainly on misinterpretation of a study on mRNA cancer vaccines in mice.
Clinical trials, involving thousands of people, and multiple studies have shown that the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna are safe. Hundreds of millions of doses have been administered under close monitoring systems that have found serious side effects are rare. Studies have also shown that the vaccines work very well in preventing severe Covid-19 disease and death, saving millions of lives across the globe.
There is no evidence to support a link between Covid-19 vaccines and cancer, as we’ve reported. Both the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society have stated there’s no information that suggests COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer, make it more aggressive or lead to recurrence of cancer.
And then there’s this:

So, if ‘most people know covid vaccines increase the risk of cancer’, then most people are simply wrong.
No, only anti-vaxxers ‘know’ that.

Oh, Ive read them. The pro vaxx ones are posted by pro Fauci types who bury their heads in the sand over the dangerous side effects of the vaccine.
So, if ‘most people know covid vaccines increase the risk of cancer’, then most people are simply wrong.
Big Pharma appreciates your input here. Go and collect the compensation they promised you. In the meantime, I'm planning on attending a neighbor's funeral. He had two rounds of the vaxx since 2020. His turbo cancer was diagnosed 3 months ago. He died last week.
(And here's where you tell me there is no correlation. Just a coincidence.)

What I will tell you is this: the fact that A preceded B is not proof that A caused B.
