Vaccine kick-starts immune response to cancer

The Sydney Morning Herald: "Researchers have developed a plant-based cancer vaccine capable of kick-starting the body's immune response and being tailored to a patient's specific tumor type, according to a study.
While they have not yet determined whether the immune response is sufficient to destroy the cancer, the researchers are hopeful that the technique could one day lead to a cure for at lease some types of the deadly disease.
'This would be a way to treat cancer without side effects,' said senior author Ronald Levy of the Stanford University Medical Center."
