The Mayo Clinic<\/a> is known for its major advances in medical research, and the vaccine they\u2019re currently testing is no exception. If successful, this injection could change the lives of thousands of people who have already survived breast cancer and are battling to keep it from coming back.<\/span>The new vaccine, called the folate receptor alpha vaccine<\/a>, is meant for people who have already had triple-negative breast cancer and survived. This type of cancer is very aggressive and has a high recurrence rate, which means many people who fought the disease once will have to fight for their lives yet again just a few years later. But researchers are working to change that.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: First Coast News<\/a><\/span>The series of vaccines works by stimulating the patient\u2019s immune system to develop antibodies against the cancer so that when cancer cells reappear, they can be quickly killed before they have a chance to grow, multiply, and spread.<\/span>
