Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russian scientists are on the verge of creating cancer vaccines and new-generation immunomodulatory drugs, which he hopes will soon be used for individual therapy.
While he didn’t specify the targeted cancer types, various countries and companies are actively developing cancer vaccines.
“We have come very close to the creation of so-called cancer vaccines and immunomodulatory drugs of a new generation,” Putin said.
“I hope that soon they will be effectively used as methods of individual therapy,” he added.
There are already licensed vaccines against viruses that can cause cancer, such as HPV and hepatitis B.
The announcement follows Russia’s development of the Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine, which Putin himself has taken to demonstrate its safety and efficacy.
