World-first lung cancer vaccine trials launched across seven countries

First patient in UK gets dose of jab designed to kill most common form of lung cancer – and stop it coming back

This sounds promising. We all know people who have cancer or have lost friends and famiy to the disease.
I think this would be bigger than any step forward for mankind.

Now with the shot being available, there is no reason for people not to relax with a pell mell at the end of the day. Certainly good news for the world's ashtray manufacturers.

i'll get back to you tommy, but i think the cubans have had a specifically lung cancer vaccine for a while. (the cubans have a wonderful attitude towards health and medicine. the benefit of a "profit motive" is highly exaggerated.)

we also have a vaccine for numerous cancers caused by the papilloma virus

even more promising are the immune therapies (administered a chemo) which seem to be working for me.

Uh-oh, best not tell Typhoid or RFK, Jr.!

One person had a moderate allergic reaction to the vaccine. The same person had mild psoriasis, a skin reaction. These symptoms improved without needing treatment and the person was able to continue on the trial.

i don't know, pp, if your only reason for smoking is that it is a long slow painful form of suicide that still applies with copd and such

It's pall mall

In the United States, 10–20% of people who develop lung cancer have never smoked or have smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. This amounts to 20,000–40,000 lung cancers each year. In some parts of Asia, the proportion of lung cancers in non-smokers can be as high as 40%.

Non-smokers are more likely to develop lung cancer due to genetic mutations or abnormalities. The cancer is often spread throughout the lungs instead of being concentrated in one area. Symptoms include: Coughing up blood, Trouble swallowing, and Swelling in the face or neck.

Other factors that may contribute to lung cancer in non-smokers include:

• Secondhand smoke: Multiple studies suggest that 15–35% of lung cancer in non-smokers is due to exposure to secondhand smoke. Women who are married to smokers have a 27% increased risk of lung cancer.
  
  
• Environmental exposures: Some known exposures include asbestos, chromium, and arsenic.
  
  
• Radon exposure: Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer. People who spend a lot of time in their basement or live in an older home should get radon levels tested in their basement.

second hand smoke and environmental pollution are top causes, along with smoking.

Probably too late for you.

How many boosters are you up to?

You'll be thrilled to know that, because of the Covid shot debacle, I'm now refusing the Shingrix vaccine as well. Yes, I'd rather get shingles than Big Pharma's poison. But trust me, I know there's not a shot available that you don't worship
