Basically it’s a therapeutic vaccine (like rabies vax, it’s given after you’ve got the problem), that tells your body that specific cancer cells are foreign invaders. I don’t know a whole lot about it, and my info is somewhat outdated, so I’ll be reviewing the info I’m linking more closely when I have more time. There are also some prophylactic, or preventative, like the HPV vax, which is obviously the end goal but not necessarily possible for all cancers.
It is still in progress, and often, from what I understand, needs to be made for each patient and the specific cancer cells they are growing, but if it works for wherever they try it on, there’s your cure.
Below you’ll find some citations but bear in mind this is a pretty new development.
You should look into the cancer vaccine.
