About OncoVAX®
OncoVAX® immunotherapy is based on a decades-long attempt by scientists to transform the body’s immune response and its long-term memory to prevent the return of disease years after surgery. Such an approach has already been successful in preventing a number of infectious diseases.
Vaccinogen’s scientists prepare a vaccine from the patient’s own tumor and then administer the vaccine to the patient by three weekly injections one month after surgery. A fourth “booster” is administered six months later. OncoVAX® reduces recurrence and deaths by over 50%.
