Breast Cancer Vaccine trials

Dear Helmie, I am an employee of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and wanted to let you know that MSKCC has a vaccine trial for women with advanced breast cancer. Here is the link with more information: http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/2270.cfm?IRBNO=04-101.

You may also be interested in doing your own search on the National Cancer Institute's web site, which lists clinical trials available all over the country: http://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/ Here's a link to a quick search that I did on the NCI site for vaccine trials for patients with advanced breast cancer: http://www.cancer.gov/search/ResultsClinicalTrials.aspx?protocolsearchid=7375790

I hope this information is useful - best of luck as you gather information on this topic and decide whether participating in a trial is right for you. --Esther  

See this article - there is information regarding customized treatment for a new clinical trial.
