Hope for Millions: Russia Announces Free Cancer Vaccine Ready for Use

Russia’s Federal Medical-Biological Agency has announced that a new mRNA-based cancer vaccine is ready for use and will be provided free to patients.

The personalized vaccine, developed with the aid of artificial intelligence, has shown up to 80% effectiveness in reducing tumor growth during preclinical trials. It works by tailoring treatment to each patient’s tumor profile, offering a breakthrough in precision medicine.

Authorities say the vaccine will first be tested on melanoma patients in upcoming human trials later this year, while colorectal cancer was the main focus in earlier studies. Officials describe the project as a major step toward revolutionizing cancer treatment, though full clinical validation is still required.
