Cancer vaccines are immunotherapies designed to prevent or treat cancer. There are two main types:
1. Preventive Vaccines: These prevent cancer from developing. Examples include:
• HPV vaccine: Prevents cervical and other cancers caused by human papillomavirus.
• Hepatitis B vaccine: Prevents liver cancer caused by hepatitis B virus.
2. Therapeutic Vaccines: These treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to attack cancer cells. Examples include:
• Sipuleucel-T (Provenge): For prostate cancer.
• BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin): For bladder cancer.
Research is ongoing to develop more effective cancer vaccines.
