Dr. Amit Kumar discusses the groundbreaking concept of a vaccine for cancer. He explains how they have identified "retired proteins" that are only produced during specific periods of life, such as lactation, and reappear when cancer cells arise. By vaccinating individuals after they no longer need these proteins, the immune system can be trained to target and destroy cancer cells. Dr. Kumar shares their progress in developing a vaccine for breast cancer and other types of cancers as well.
