Experts hope the ovarian cancer jab could work in a similar way to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which is on track to stamp out cervical cancer.

The world’s first ovarian cancer vaccine could wipe the disease out, researchers have said.

OvarianVax is a vaccine that teaches the immune system to recognise and attack the earliest stages of ovarian cancer.

It’s being developed by scientists at the University of Oxford.

The hope is that women could receive the jab preventatively on the NHS with the goal of eradicating the disease.

Experts have suggested it could work in a similar way to the human papillomavirus (HPV) jab, which is on track to stamp out cervical cancer.

    It’s a good thing we invented this straw person to have this whole discussion artificially when literally no one else was bringing it up. If we can’t find any monsters I guess we’ll invent them and do it anyway. 🙄

      So, neither misogynists nor anti-vaxxers exist?

      I can find you evidence of men complaining about free period products. I am certain there will be men complaining that female cancers are getting cures, and not male ones.

        They exist, are they here on Lemmy without artificially or “ironically” sharing their awesome hot takes? The world will never know.
