Cancer vaccine with minimal side effects nearing Phase 3 clinical trials
Dr. Thomas Wagner, founder of the biotech company Orbis Health Solutions and cancer researcher, has made it his life's mission to find a way to treat cancer without the dreaded side effects that, for some, can become worse than the cancer itself or may even lead to an earlier death. "The tragedy of cancer is not just that person, the diagnosis, but it's also the fear of the therapy," Wagner told ABC News. This can cause a range of side effects including hair loss, nausea, vomiting, or may knock out a person's immune system putting them at risk of life-threatening infections, Wagner said.
