    There will be custom printed MRNA vaccines that target cancers based on sequencing that cancer’s own DNA.

      Does this mean we would get vaccinated against all forms of cancer? Because these are a lot. What about people who already have a cancer?

        It’s not necessarily a vaccine that you get in advance. It’s simply a vaccine in that it causes your body to create antibodies against the wonky cells, they can happen after chemo or radiation and still be effective.
