No one should have to go through painful cancer treatments, or die, when we have the science to train our own immune systems to fight off cancer.

CVC SUPPORTS SCIENCE BY:

  • Funding clinical research trials

  • Creating collaboration

  • Engaging stakeholders

  • Promoting awareness

  • INSISTING on better options for patients with breast cancer

With the goal of a safe, effective breast cancer vaccine approved for use ASAP.

THE SCIENTISTS

We have assembled many of the top breast cancer doctors and vaccine researchers in the world for an unprecedented collaboration with a laser focus on cancer vaccines for treatment and someday, prevention.
