These vaccines are based on neoantigens, which, quoting the abstract of one of those articles, "are highly specific to tumours of individual patients". The technique is generally applicable to several types of cancer, but the cure will be specific to only one type.
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoYes, but the technology and research will allow a cure to be developed for all types even though the cures that come from it themselves are quite specific. It still won't lead to developing a cure for only one type of cancer.
