Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Rochester are working to give the measles vaccine a whole new purpose -- fighting cancer. Instead of serving only as a vaccine for keeping away measles, researchers have proven the vaccine can be effective in destroying cancer cells. Three recent studies demonstrated that the virus may be effective in treating such cancers as multiple myeloma, recurrent ovarian cancer, non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and various tumors.
"With the measles vaccine, we have good starting material," said Stephen J. Russell, M.D., Ph.D. "However, we are now working to engineer the vaccine so that it kills cancer cells."
