|
|
Monday, January 19, 2009
Havana.- The State Center for Quality Control of Medications approved the first stage of a clinical trial of a therapeutic vaccine against hormone-sensitive prostrate cancer.
The experiment, carried out by local experts, has proved to be safe and is aimed at treating the second major cause of death among Cuban men. That is why; experts are working on another vaccine project in Havana.
The Heberprovac vaccine, created at Camagüey's Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Center, was successfully administered at the Marie Curie Provincial Oncology Hospital.
Although the vaccine is not a cure to cancer, it improves the patients' quality of life and increases their survival.
