Making sense of Cancer Vaccination
You might wonder, “Can vaccines prevent cancer?” The answer is “Yes, some can.” They can reduce your risk of cancer by protecting against certain viral infections that can cause the disease.
Our Caregivers team will guide you to know about the cancer vaccination details & necessaries.
What Is Cancer Vaccination ?
All vaccines work by training your immune system to defend your body against foreign invaders or abnormal cells that pose a threat. There are many vaccines that you receive throughout your life to prevent common illnesses. There are also vaccines for cancer are two main types of cancer vaccines:
1. Preventive Cancer Vaccines
2. Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines.
These vaccine types can protect against cancer in different ways.
Preventive Cancer Vaccines
Most people are familiar with preventive vaccines, the more conventional vaccine type. They boost your body’s natural ability to defend against foreign invaders, like bacteria and viruses.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine
This vaccine prevents against the cancers including cervical cancer, head and neck cancers, anal cancer, penile cancer, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer. The HPV vaccine greatly reduces risk of these cancers.
Hepatitis B Vaccine
Getting the hepatitis B vaccine reduces risk of liver cancer.
Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines
Therapeutic cancer vaccines expose your immune system to molecules, called antigens, that are associated with a specific type of cancer. These vaccines enable the immune system to recognize and destroy the cancer cells. Therapeutic cancer vaccines consist of specific antigens combined with another immune system trigger called an adjuvant.
Therapeutic cancer vaccines can:
Stop a tumor from growing or spreading.
Destroy cancer cells still in the body after treatments like surgery or radiation therapy.
Keep cancer from coming back after treatment.
Approved Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines
Several therapeutic cancer vaccines have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are already in use for different cancers:
Sipuleucel-T (Provenge®) Vaccines
Sipuleucel-T (Provenge) is used for the treatment of people whose prostate cancer has metastasized (spread).
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) Vaccines
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is used to treat early-stage bladder cancers.
Nadofaragene firadonevec (Adstiladrin®) Vaccines
Nadofaragene firadonevec (Adstiladrin) is approved for treatment of early-stage bladder cancers that have progressed despite BCG therapy.
T-VEC (Imlygic®) Vaccines
T-VEC (Imlygic)T-VEC (Imlygic®) is an oncolytic virus-based vaccine that is used to treat advanced melanoma that cannot be completely removed with surgery.
Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine Clinical Trials
Many clinical trials (research studies) are testing vaccines in different cancers. Some of the most notable include:
Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine (Under Clinical Trials)
Doctors hope the vaccine can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer returning after the main tumor is removed by surgery.
Head and Neck Cancer Vaccine
Clinical trial testing a therapeutic vaccine against Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-associated head and neck cancers.
