Cleveland Clinic announced today they have a vaccine that is working on mice. All the mice given the vaccine did not develop BC. The mice that didn't get the vaccine did get BC. They expect human trials to begin next year. If they go as well, then we'll see the actual product in 5 years.

They said there are no side effects and the smallest tumor will be found and destroyed. I heard this on Fox news so no hit sight for us to go to read all about it.

I can only say, if this works on humans as well as it does on mice, then Thank God.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A doctor from the Cleveland Clinic claims he has developed a vaccine to prevent and possibly cure breast cancer.

A study, published Sunday, reports Dr. Vincent Tuohy found that a single vaccination made up of antigen a-lactalbumin (lactation protein) prevents breast cancer tumors from forming, while stopping the growth of already existing tumors. *READ STUDY HERE*

A spokesperson for the Cleveland Clinic says enrollment in human trials could begin as early as next year.

Women over the age of 40 or that have the breast cancer gene BRCA 1 or 2, will be vaccinated first because the vaccine targets a woman's lactation protein. Once the lactation protein is targeted, a woman's milk supply is affected.

According to the spokesperson, Dr. Tuohy found the target in an unhealthy tumor that is not typically found in a healthy person. He targeted a protein called a-lactalbumin, which is found in the majority of breast cancers, but not found in healthy women unless they are lactating. The antigen is injected which then searches and eliminates tumor growth.

In other words, the vaccine can help boost a woman's immune system to target a-lactalbumin without damaging healthy breast tissue.

The Doctor says he is confident in his findings and believes it will have a massive impact on fighting the disease.

"We have designed a vaccine that is designed to prevent breast cancer the same way we vaccinate against polio and measles," Tuohy told Fox 8 News, "I think the same strategy could be applied for a variety of different cancers and diseases as we age...and I can't really wait to see my dream and that vision come true."

I heard something about this. Wow! That would be amazing if it worked!

It has to work. Imagine a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime! They have to be more advanced because they wouldn't have announced anything. There's quite a few women who will need that vaccine, like every woman alive, the race to get it will make some companies very rich.

I can see insurance companies NOT covering it because it's too new.

Hmmm, I didn't think of that. That might be a problem, but if the trials come in good, like at 90% then they can't deny treatment. I think the goal is to get to 90% cure, or something like that number. That's why we never see anything really promising because of the high percentage they put on our drugs, but the men can get new drugs at a lower percentage rate of cure. I know what your thinking as I write this. How dare they? They dare and they do, and get away with it too.
