The 34 mRNA sequences in mRNA-4157/V940 vaccine were generated by an automated algorithm integrated with workflow based on massive parallel sequencing of tissue generated from cancer patients. [1] As adjuvant therapy, mRNA-4157 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab have been investigated in patients with resected solid tumors ...

Cisplatin is particularly effective against testicular cancer; the cure rate was improved from 10% to 85%. [10] Similarly, the addition of cisplatin to adjuvant chemotherapy led to a marked increase in disease-free survival rates for patients with medulloblastoma - again, up to around 85%.
PSK has adjuvant anti-tumor activity in vitro in various types of cancers, including colorectal, gastric, breast, liver, pancreatic, and lung cancer. [3] Preliminary studies examining PSK include its use in conjunction with chemotherapy for colorectal cancer, [4] [5] non-small cell lung carcinoma, [6] breast cancer, [7] liver cancer, [8] and ...
