Tumor vaccines
Tumor vaccines are treatments used for cancer therapy or prevention. Tumor vaccines focus on a specific antigen, a biological molecule, specific to a tumor. A tumor vaccine trains the immune system to elicit a response against that specific antigen thus inducing immunity against cancer.
