Mayo teams with Arizona State on cancer vaccines

Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute is teaming with researchers at the Mayo Clinic to develop new cancer vaccines. Their approach will be to identify components in the cancer that can be protected against, while looking for vaccines that can have broad utility against a variety of cancers. Common themes in protein signatures produced by cancer tumors.

"This idea of identifying signatures unique to cancer suggests the possibility of preventive vaccines," said Laurence Miller, M.D., director of research and deputy director of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center. "This approach could avoid many of the problems associated with trying to treat an established tumor."
