Scientists and researchers are optimistic about cancer vaccines, a groundbreaking advancement in cancer treatment with the potential to revolutionise the field.

These innovative vaccines aim to shrink tumours and prevent cancer recurrence, showing promising results in breast, lung, skin (melanoma), and pancreatic cancers, The Week reported.

Understanding how cancer evades the immune system has led to the development of cancer vaccines and immunotherapies that enhance the immune response to identify and eliminate cancer cells.

Some vaccines utilise mRNA technology, initially developed for cancer and successfully employed in Covid-19 vaccines.

Dr Nora Disis from UW Medicine's Cancer Vaccine Institute in Seattle likened the body’s activated T cells to cells with feet, explaining that these cells can travel through the body, targeting and neutralising cancer cells.

According to researchers volunteer participation is crucial for advancing vaccine research alongside standard treatment.

Additionally, lessons from early failures regarding treatment vaccines have paved the way for new approaches, emphasising the importance of focusing on earlier-stage disease.

In addition to treatment vaccines, researchers are actively exploring preventive vaccines.

In fact, preventive vaccines for liver cancer (Hepatitis B) and cervical cancer (HPV) have already proven effective.

Currently, leading medical institutions are actively recruiting participants, particularly high-risk individuals with BRCA mutations (which increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer) to eradicate abnormal cells at an early stage and prevent cancer development.

Also, efforts to develop personalised mRNA vaccines for melanoma patients, tailored to their specific mutations, are ongoing but more expensive to produce.

Clinical trials focusing on breast, lung, and ovarian cancers at UW Medicine are underway, with preliminary results expected soon.

While the complete impact of cancer vaccines on individual outcomes is yet to be fully understood, individual success stories inspire hope and further research.

The potential for cancer vaccines to transform cancer treatment motivates scientists and medical professionals in this crucial field.

5 reasons the 2025 Met Gala will be the most iconic and revolutionary yet

The Met Gala has always been a spectacle, part fashion circus, part cultural reckoning, but this year, it’s not just about who wears what. It’s about who rewrites the rules. On 5 May 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will transform into a cathedral of Black style, where every stitch will tell a story of defiance, elegance, and unapologetic flair. Forget "fashion as art" because this is fashion as armour, as rebellion, as a centuries-long mic drop.


1. Unpacking the theme: The legacy of Black Dandyism

For those unfamiliar, Black dandyism is more than just a fashion statement. It’s a form of resistance, identity exploration, and cultural transformation. Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s ground-breaking work, Slaves to Fashion, this year’s theme takes us through centuries of Black fashion history.

This food fuels Tom Cruise before he performs daring stunts for action films

Tom Cruise, 62, has shared details of his high-calorie breakfast routine that fuels his extreme stunt work in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The actor, known for performing his own action sequences, revealed in an interview with People magazine that he consumes a “massive breakfast” before attempting high-risk feats such as wing-walking, plane jumps, and mountain climbs.

Cruise explained the importance of his morning meal in maintaining energy during physically demanding scenes, particularly those performed at high altitude. “I actually eat a massive breakfast,” he said. “The amount of energy it takes — I train so hard for that wing-walking. I’ll eat, like, sausage and almost a dozen eggs and bacon and toast and coffee and fluids. Oh, I’m eating! Picture: It’s cold up there. We’re at high altitude. My body is burning a lot.”

Psychologist explains mental health benefits of Gen Z’s ‘barebacking’ travel trend

A new commuting trend among Generation Z known as ‘barebacking’ is drawing attention – and some confusion – for its unusual name and low-tech approach to daily travel. Despite initial assumptions, the practice has nothing to do with sexual behaviour. Instead, it refers to travelling on public transport without the use of technology or entertainment, such as phones, music, or podcasts.

The term was reportedly coined by podcaster Curtis Morton and is considered a cousin to the earlier ‘rawdogging’ trend, where individuals would endure long-haul flights or journeys without digital distractions. While the idea of commuting in silence may sound unpleasant to some, psychologists suggest it may offer significant mental health benefits.
