    At present, most cancer vaccines treat cancers that have already appeared in patients by stimulating the response of the human immune system


    Triple-negative breast cancer patients account for 15-20% of breast cancer patients, and it is more common in women under the age of 40


    This new cancer vaccine targets a breast-specific lactating protein called α-lactalbumin


    Preclinical studies have shown that activating the immune response to α-lactalbumin can safely and effectively prevent breast cancer in a mouse model


    The upcoming phase 1 clinical trial will enroll 18 to 24 patients.


    The researchers proposed that subsequent trials will involve healthy, cancer-free women at high risk of breast cancer, who voluntarily undergo bilateral mastectomy to reduce their risk of cancer
