The world’s first vaccine for ovarian cancer – being developed in the UK – could wipe out the deadly disease, researchers say.
Scientists at the University of Oxford are creating OvarianVax, a vaccine which teaches the immune system to recognise and attack the earliest stages of ovarian cancer.
The hope is that the jab could be given to women preventatively on the NHS with the aim of eliminating the disease.
