    Cancer immunotherapy has faced challenges, particularly in advanced malignancies due to an immunosuppressive environment.

  • 2

    Proactive vaccination in high-risk populations may intercept cancer before clinical manifestation, shifting focus from treatment to prevention.

  • 3

    The immunological landscape is more favorable for vaccination in early-stage conditions, enhancing vaccine engagement and effectiveness.

  • 4

    Preliminary studies indicate that contemporary vaccine formulations are safe and tolerable for high-risk individuals without severe autoimmunity.

  • 5

    Successful examples of prophylactic vaccination in viral cancers support the potential for non-viral cancer vaccines to reduce incidence and improve public health.
