The next step is to try this in humans, probably just testing the immune response first, then introducing it to some cancer patients. I see no reason why this can’t be applied to all other types of cancer, as long as they have some type of unique, recognizable receptor or surface marker.

Researchers at Wayne State University have tested a breast cancer vaccine they say completely eliminated HER2-positive tumors in mice – even cancers resistant to current anti-HER2 therapy – without any toxicity.

This technique basically fixes that, allowing the body to fight it off. I’m not surprised in the slightest that all traces of cancer were gone.

Yap The researchers also say it might potentially be used in cancer-free women to prevent initial development of these tumors.

Preventing the onset of cancer cells is a powerful idea. And this development is tantamount to giving life to those who are no longer enthusiastic to live longer because of the big C's "rampage".

Therapies such as trastuzumab and lapatinib, designed to latch on to these receptors and destroy them, are a mainstay of treatment for this cancer, but a significant proportion of patients develop a resistance to them or cancer metastasis that is hard to treat.

Then, when the researchers implanted HER2-positive breast tumors in the animals, the cancer was eradicated.

In the absence of regulatory T cells, the immune system responded much more strongly to the vaccine. Then, when the researchers implanted HER2-positive breast tumors in the animals, the cancer was eradicated.

Can you suggest anything natural that a patient should take during and after HER2 treatment?

One of our writers wrote an article today about a brand new test for HER2, which is being revealed today at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. It's a completely new way of testing by gene expression profiling and can radically alter treatment recommendations.

We don't have a vested interest in the company that is coming out with the test, we just got early news of the announcement and are trying to spread the word. We thought your readers might be interested:

Can anyone tell me if the researchers doing this study need volunteers?

Thank you.
