Here's a summary from Lowe on mRNA for an effective cancer vaccine
> And those issues, among others, are what has kept the cancer vaccine field from taking off, mRNA-powered or not. Pre-pandemic, Moderna was working on these, and no doubt they still are. But whereas we could go from "new pathogen" to "new vaccine" in about a year (an amazing feat, to be sure), developing any similarly effective cancer vaccine is already in the "decades and counting" category. There's a huge amount of promise in this area, but don't expect it to zip along like a viral vaccine might be able to.
