therapeutic vaccines

Therapeutic vaccines are designed to treat existing diseases, especially infections or cancer, by stimulating the body's immune system to recognize and attack the problem. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent illness, these vaccines help the immune system target and eliminate unhealthy cells or pathogens already present in the body. They work by teaching the immune system to identify specific markers associated with the disease, leading to a focused and effective response. This approach can improve treatment outcomes and offer a targeted way to manage chronic conditions or cancers.
