Do you have a family history of colon cancer? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. A colorectal cancer vaccine may be available in the near future. Results from phase 1 of a recent clinical trial were published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer and they were promising. The trial consisted of 10 participants with either type 1 or 2 colon cancer. The vaccine was administered to each individual and they returned for blood work at days 30, 90, and 180. The blood work showed evidence of activated killer T cells— which are used to destroy colon cancer cells. These results pave the way for more research. The vaccine also had no serious side effects! Without a family history of colon cancer, screenings should begin at age 50.
