According to the Russian health Ministry, a cancer vaccine it has created will be given away for free to patients in early 2025. According to reports, the vaccine will not be distributed to the general population to prevent cancer, but rather to treat cancer sufferers.
 
According to Russia's TASS news agency, Andrey Kaprin, the General director of the Radiology Medical Research Centre of the Russian Ministry of health, declared that the nation has created its own mRNA vaccine to prevent cancer and would provide it to the public at no cost.


Early in 2025 is when the vaccine is anticipated to get into widespread use. According to pre-clinical testing, the vaccine inhibits the growth of tumors and their propensity to spread, Alexander Gintsburg, director of the Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, told TASS.
 
Russian President Vladimir Putin had said that Russian scientists were almost finished developing cancer vaccinations that patients could soon be able to get. "We have come very close to the creation of so-called cancer vaccines and immunomodulatory drugs of a new generation," he stated in february during a broadcast speech.


The vaccine's name and the malignancies it is intended to cure are yet unknown. Similar efforts are underway in other nations. For instance, Newsweek reports that the british government has partnered with a German BioNTech business to provide customized cancer therapies.
 

Use Of AI In cancer Vaccines?
Earlier, Gintsburg claimed that the amount of time needed to develop a customized cancer vaccine may be reduced to less than an hour through the usage of artificial neural networks.
 
"Currently, it takes a long time to create [personalized vaccinations] since matrix methods are used to calculate how a vaccine or customized mRNA should appear. The Ivannikov Institute, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to perform this math—specifically, neural network computing—has been enlisted. The vaccination leader told TASS that these operations should take between thirty and an hour.


An experimental cancer vaccine being developed by pharmaceutical firms Moderna and Merck & Co. has been shown in mid-stage research to reduce the risk of death or recurrence from melanoma, the most dangerous skin cancer, by half after three years of therapy.
 
According to the World health Organization, there are approved vaccinations against hepatitis B (HBV), which can cause liver cancer, and human papillomaviruses (HPV), which cause a number of malignancies, including cervical cancer.
