Russian scientists claim they have made a revolutionary cancer vaccine that reportedly shows "100% efficacy with no side effects". Enteromune, the purported vaccine, is intended to treat colon, stomach, and pancreatic cancer and was developed by the State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology "Vector", with the help of the "father of Russian virology" Professor Mikhail Scherer.
Last week, the Russian Health Ministry announced that the vaccine had been tested on 48 patients with colon and stomach cancer and showed "100% efficacy with no side effects". This comes as a massive breakthrough in the field of medicine, given the global disease burden of cancer, particularly gastrointestinal malignancies. However, it remains to be seen what further independent assessments will reveal.
Russian media outlets and scientists have been quick to celebrate this announcement, with some even suggesting it could be a "game-changer" for the entire field of oncology. Russian health minister Mikhail Murashko said it was a "significant innovation" and that it gave him "reason to be proud of our scientists and researchers".
While caution must be taken when assessing the findings and claims of the initial phase of the study, the purported 100% efficacy rate is undoubtedly promising and warrants further investigation for possible applications in helping alleviate the global disease burden of cancer.
