remember the last russia effort for vaccine?

I worked with cancer research for 12 years. Basic research in cancer biology. There isn't a disease called cancer...Cancer has hundred of different diseases. The probability of finding an universal cure for cancer is low. My master's was with bladder cancer and PhD with lung cancer in non-smokers. Different molecules overexpressed and mutations there... different cells origin these cancers. It is the same thing as saying that you find a universal cure for viruses or bacteria!

This time, it's probably more about mass media efforts to sell a therapy as a cancer vaccine.
From here: https://66.ru/health/news/278021/ Gemini AI translate:
Doctors emphasize that this is not a miracle cure, but rather a way to enhance immunotherapy. It will be used in conjunction with it
to show the immune system of a person with cancer, how to distinguish a healthy cell from a malignant one
[In 2025,] Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of tumors will be able to participate in the clinical study.
AI isn't mentioned at all.
Here: https://ren.tv/news/zdorove/1290335-rossiiskaia-vaktsina-ot-raka-stanet-besplatnoi they mentioned AI as a tool of analysis of genes during therapy.
The first sentence starts to make more sense! There are some efforts like that already, for example some type of cancer there is a good outcome of using BCG vaccine ( an old tuberculosis available vaccine) in order to have this effect in bladder cancer. You make the immune system more active in order to start fighting also against the tumor. So without looking into the real scientific data this news from a russia media we can wait for something more plausible, thanks bringing that! I am still willing to see their data though to understand better all the mechanism!
