A breast cancer vaccine could be on the way to tackle a form of the illness that does not respond to common treatments

It gives fresh hope to ­thousands with the “triple negative” type – some 12% of the 50,000 patients diagnosed each year.

Prof Graham Pockley from the Nottingham research team hopes for trials in two years. He said: “It’s huge. It would save women.”

The revolutionary vaccine for the hardest-to-treat form of breast cancer is likely to go into clinical trials in two years, scientists claim.

The jab could save thousands of women with triple negative breast cancer, which does not respond to hormone therapy or cancer drugs used to tackle other forms of the illness.
British scientists discovered a protein called HAGE in sufferers’ tumours, which they found was linked to the presence of immune cells that can attack the cancer.

Now they believe the protein could be stimulated to produce antibodies against the killer disease – and harnessing this reaction could produce a cancer-beating vaccine.
