Researchers in the United States are starting human clinical trials of a vaccine implant which targets skin cancer. The implant, the size of a fingernail, is placed under the skin and re-programmes a patient's immune system to destroy cancerous melanoma cells. The technique was trialled successfully in mice in 2009 after the mice that received two doses of the vaccine showed complete regression of their tumours.
美国的科学研究者们正开始对一种治疗皮肤癌的疫苗植入物进行人体临床试验。该植入物的大小跟指甲差不多,被安置在皮肤下并可以重新设定病人的免疫系统,这样可以破坏癌变黑色素瘤细胞。这项技术于2009年在小白鼠身上试验成功,当时接受两个剂量疫苗的小白鼠的肿瘤完全消失。
