A
cancer vaccine is a vaccine that either treats existing cancer or
prevents development of a cancer. Vaccines that treat existing cancer
are known as therapeutic cancer vaccines.
Vaccines,

disease. They help train the immune system to recognize and destroy
harmful substances. There are 2 types of cancer vaccines:
