Cancer vaccine for dogs appears to nearly double survival rate

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Yale researchers have developed a cancer vaccine for dogs that nearly doubles their 12-month survival rate — and it might be a powerful treatment for humans with cancer, too.

Sick as a dog: In 2011, the FDA approved the first ever cancer immunotherapy — a treatment that supercharges the immune system to fight cancer — and today, oncologists have dozens of powerful immunotherapies in their arsenal, with more coming every year.

That’s not the case if the oncologist happens to treat dogs instead of people, though.
