Russia India’s health ministry has claimed to have created a cancer vaccine. As early as 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that he was close to developing a vaccine against cancer. This is an mRNA vaccine. Its clinical trials have shown that the vaccine can help treat cancerous tumors. This discovery of Russia is considered the greatest discovery of the century.
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is the leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases worldwide. Every year, around 6.1 million people die worldwide, 1 million of them from cancer. This means that one in six deaths worldwide is due to cancer.
That is why the whole world is watching this discovery of Russia with great expectation. It can change everything. Millions of lives can be saved every year.
That’s why today in “Sehatnama” we will know the answers to all the questions related to this vaccine. You will also learn that-
What is cancer? What will be the possible price of this cancer vaccine? When will it be ready and marketed? How true is the claim that it would be prepared in an hour?
Question: What is cancer?
Answer: There are approximately 30 million cells in our body. All these elements grow in a controlled manner according to a certain pattern and are destroyed after a certain time. But when cancer occurs, this controlled pattern begins to deteriorate and takes the form of a fatal disease. Dr Samit Purohit, an oncologist at Action Cancer Hospital, Delhi, explains cancer in very simple words like this:
Question: At what stage is this cancer vaccine?
Answer: Preclinical trials of the cancer vaccine have been completed. It was a success. It can be placed on the market after clinical trials and approval.
A vaccine must go through many stages before being marketed. First of all, scientists do research. After that, the preclinical trial of the vaccine takes place. Preclinical means that a drug or vaccine is tested in the laboratory, on mice, or otherwise before humans.
If the preclinical trial is successful, clinical trials are then conducted. A clinical trial involves testing a drug or vaccine on humans.
Regulatory review takes place after clinical trials. If all goes well, approval is given for its production. After that, once prepared, it is released to the market after quality control.
Question: How long will it take for this vaccine to hit the market?
Answer: The Russian government has said that the vaccine will only be available in the first months of 2025. It will be administered free of charge to Russian cancer patients. Although it was only prepared for Russia. It is difficult to say when it will be available in other countries.
Question: What will the eventual price of this vaccine be?
Answer: According to Andrey Kaprin, head of the Medical Research Center of Radiology of the Russian Ministry of Health, the cost of each dose of this vaccine for the Russian state will be around 300,000 rubles, or approximately Rs 2 lakh 46 thousand. When it comes to the global market, export and storage fees may also be added to this price. Its price may therefore change.
Question: How will this vaccine work?
Answer: This is an mRNA vaccine. mRNA stands for messenger RNA. It is part of the human genetic code. It makes proteins in our cells. Think of it this way: When a virus or bacteria attacks our body, mRNA technology sends a message to our cells to make proteins to fight that virus or bacteria.
Question: How many types of cancers will this vaccine affect?
Answer: This vaccine has so far shown good results against breast, lung and colon cancer in preclinical trials. However, researchers claim that it has the ability to treat all types of cancer.
Question: Up to what stage of cancer will this vaccine be effective?
Answer: This vaccine is very effective in the early stages of cancer. However, it has not been clarified how long its effect lasts. It has been reported that this vaccine strengthens the body’s natural defense system. With its help, tumor growth can be slowed down. Once the cancer is gone, this can prevent it from growing again. If there is cancer at an early stage, it can be completely eradicated.
Question: Will there be no need for radiotherapy and chemotherapy after vaccination?
Answer: This vaccine is only able to completely eliminate cancer at an early stage. If the cancer is in an advanced stage, its growth can be slowed with a vaccine. Along with this, it may be necessary to undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This doctor can decide based on the stage of the cancer, symptoms and the patient’s overall health.
Question: Will this vaccine be given after cancer or can it be given as a preventative measure?
Answer: It has been clearly stated about this vaccine that its purpose is to treat cancer patients and not to prevent tumors from forming in patients. This means that this vaccine will be used to treat cancer. It is not able to prevent a person from developing cancer.
The truth is that it is not biologically possible to make such a cancer vaccine, which can prevent cancer. This is because cancer is not a disease. It is the result of thousands of different conditions in the body.
Question: Can cancer come back after vaccination?
Answer: Yes, it can happen. This vaccine is a kind of personalized cancer vaccine. In this, this vaccine is prepared by taking a part of a person’s cancerous tumor. If the same person develops another type of cancer after recovery, then a new vaccine will need to be prepared for them.
Question: Will the vaccine be ready for every cancer patient within 1 hour?
Answer: In general, preparing the vaccine takes a long time. Russia will use computing to create this vaccine using personalized mRNA. For this, the help of the Ivannikov Institute was requested, which will need the help of AI to carry out all of this work. The process of manufacturing the vaccine using neural network computing is expected to take only half an hour to an hour.
Question: Will cancer cease to be a major disease after the introduction of this vaccine?
Answer: The whole world is looking at this vaccine with hope. If all results remain as positive, cancer treatment will become much easier than before.
Question: What are the world’s top doctors saying about the vaccine?
Answer: Until this vaccine hits the market after regulatory approval, doctors are avoiding talking much about it. However, questions arise about the use of AI to make vaccines. …………… related to Sehatnama
