Abstract:
Prostate cancer is a slow-growing disease, but not always. A highly rare and lethal form of the disease shows survival rates of less than a year. It is called squamous cell prostate carcinoma. In this issue of JEM, Hermanova et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20191787) provide new findings in mouse demonstrating a strong genetic handle on both the reasons behind the rarity and the aggressiveness.

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
