While I know screening can be the biggest prevention of this disease,

I want to make everyone aware of a new vaccine that is on the verge of

replacing chemotherapy. The name of the vaccine is OncoVAX

(<http://vaccinogeninc.com/oncovax.html>). It is from a company called

Vaccinogen (<http://www.vaccinogeninc.com/index.htm>).



This vaccine is available to anyone that has been diagnosed with Stage

II colon cancer and HASN'T had surgery. Currently this vaccine is only

available commercially in Europe but arrangements can be made for the

patient to have surgery in the United States, which would possibly be

covered by insurance, but the OncoVAX treatment itself will be out of

pocket. Following surgery, a patient-specific vaccine is made from the

patient's resected tumor that when injected back into the patient

decreases the chance of the cancer returning from 1 in 3 to 1 in 10.

These are odds everyone should be aware of.
