"To be clear, the CimaVax doesn't cure cancer. It's a therapeutic vaccine that works by targeting the tumor itself, specifically going after the proteins that allow a tumor to keep growing."

If a shot is given once a year (I think that's what it said), and the vaccine prevents a tumor from growing or spreading, how would it not end cancer deaths (at least in those types of cancers)?  

Actually, if it starts tumors from growing in the first place, then how would they even grow to be a tumor?

But just like the treatment of wrapping chemo in protein, I wonder if they'll even find a way to silence this, just like they did that (or at least I haven't been able to find anything on it).
