UW Cancer Vaccine Institute Receives Science Fair Award for Breast Cancer Vaccine

By March 10, 2023No Comments

Scientists at the University of Washington School of Medicine are winners of theĀ 2023 Gizmodo Science Fair

for their experimental breast cancer vaccine.

In November, the researchersĀ published

data from a Phase I safety trial of their vaccine, which involved 66 women with advanced-stage breast cancer.

The women had undergone treatment that either put their cancer into complete remission or largely contained it, but they remained at high risk of it aggressively reemerging. The volunteers were tracked for a median length of about 10 years.
