Groundbreaking cancer vaccine potentially accessible in Omsk could offer hope for battling the most virulent types of cancer.

Russian Cancer Vaccine Nears Approval for Clinical Use

A groundbreaking Russian cancer vaccine, which has shown promising results in preclinical trials, is awaiting permission from the Ministry of Health for clinical use. The vaccine, developed over several years under the supervision of Veronika Skvortsova, the former Minister of Health and head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA), has demonstrated the ability to significantly slow down tumor growth and improve patient survival rates.

The vaccine is currently ready for use, with documents for its clinical application having been submitted to the Ministry of Health by the end of summer 2025. The preclinical trials, which have been conducted under Skvortsova's watch, have shown that the vaccine can reduce tumor size by 60-80%, depending on the specific case. Furthermore, the vaccine has proven to be safe for repeated administration.

The initial focus of the vaccine will be on colorectal cancer, but it is also in an advanced stage of development for two other types of tumors: glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain tumors, and special forms of melanoma, including skin cancer and melanoma of the eye membranes, which develop very quickly.

Skvortsova reported this development to "Izvestia", stating that the vaccine has a positive impact on patient survival. She also highlighted that the vaccine has shown high efficacy and safety in preclinical trials. However, the institution that submitted documents in summer 2025 for the clinical application of the Russian cancer vaccine to obtain approval from the Ministry of Health has not been identified in the provided search results.

The last three years of the research have been focused on regulated preclinical studies. If approved for clinical use, this vaccine could potentially revolutionise cancer treatment, offering a new hope for patients battling this devastating disease.
