Cancer treatment platforms that involve the use of the adaptive immune system have demonstrated profound tumour regressions including complete cure. Importantly, technological advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) allow for the first time the development of personalised cancer immunotherapies that target patient specific mutations. However, clinical application is currently hampered by spec ...

"Personalized cancer vaccines are therapeutic vaccines custom tailored to target tumor-specific mutations unique to a given patient. Such a treatment offers great hope for cancer patients as it does not harm healthy cells and has the potential to provide life-long remission. The emerging view of cancer as a dynamic evolutionary process that produces startling genetic heterogeneity and escapes trea ...
