Vaccines and Viruses in Drug Delivery, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

Vaccines: Vaccines cannot prevent cancer, but they can help fight it.  Vaccines that are used to fight existing cancers are called therapeutic vaccines.  (Vaccines that prevent disease are known as prophylactic vaccines.)  The basic principle is to teach the immune system to identify tumors as an enemy and help fight them.  For the most part, this is done by introducing an altered, harmless form of the cancer into the patient, much like a classic vaccine.  As techniques have been refined, scientists have been able to find the specific proteins that have proven to be the most effective in educating the body to fight cancer.
Highly personalized vaccines would require multiple steps.  Each patient would be biopsied, and the collected tissue would undergo full genome sequencing.  The results would be analyzed, and individual vaccines would then be designed and manufactured.  Genentech is a pioneer in this field.
