Russia is developing an mRNA vaccine to fight cancer, which will be distributed free of charge to patients, according to Andrey Kaprin, director general of the Russian Health Ministry 's Research Center for Medical Radiology.
The vaccine was developed in collaboration with several research centers. Russia is expected to announce the vaccine in early 2025.

Earlier, Director of the Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, Alexander Gintsburg, said preclinical trials showed the vaccine was capable of preventing tumor growth and potential metastasis.
"During preclinical trials, we saw that the malignant tumor disappeared, and not only the tumor, but also the metastases disappeared. I do not exclude the possibility that we will enroll more patients in phase four trials," Gintsburg told Russian media.
Gintsburg noted that the vaccine is a therapeutic vaccine, which will be given to people who have been diagnosed with cancer. It is based on mRNA technology, which is already being used by drugmakers Pfizer and Moderna to produce COVID-19 vaccines. Gintsburg said the new vaccine can be used for any type of cancer.
The director of the Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology said plans are underway to begin testing the vaccine’s effectiveness against different types of cancer, including lung, kidney and pancreatic cancer. Cancer institutes are also expected to participate in the trials.
