Results from Small Study Show Promise in Treating Breast and Ovarian Cancer

According to a report from USA Today, results from a small study show promise in potentially treating breast and ovarian cancer. When you have been diagnosed with a form of cancer, you may be unable to work during treatment and recovery. Long-term disability benefits may be available, which can help to offset your lost income.

A study that involved just 26 women shows evidence of the PANVAC vaccine helping to stop the cancer from worsening and improving survival rates. These women were diagnosed with either breast cancer or ovarian cancer. Their cancer had also spread to other organs.

There were 4 women whose cancer stopped progressing and 1 woman who showed no evidence of cancer in her body any longer. The only side effect reported was a mild reaction at the injection site.

Researchers indicate that while there is much more testing to be done, the positive results so far are hopeful. They also indicate that they would like to see how the vaccine works before other toxic treatments damage the patient's immune system.
