Does PROTEXI cancer vaccine work with hormone therapy for breast cancer?

I have Stage III hormone-positive breast cancer and am currently on ribociclib along with other hormone therapies. I just read about an experimental cancer vaccine called PROTEXI that uses our existing COVID-19 immune memory to help fight breast cancer. The research showed promise for breast cancer patients, though it's still in early stages and clinical trials are just beginning. It might be years before this approach becomes available, but it could potentially work alongside existing treatments to help our immune systems better recognize and attack cancer cells. I'd love to connect with others who have similar diagnoses: • Have you heard about or participated in any immunotherapy research for hormone-positive breast cancer? • What has your experience been like combining different treatments for Stage III breast cancer?

New cancer vaccine harnesses COVID-19 immune memory to fight tumors

In a discovery that could redefine the future of cancer immunotherapy, scientists from Celloram Inc., University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University have developed a novel cancer vaccine platform that transforms the impact of the largest immunological event in modern history – a synchronized mass immune memory generated through SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination – into a powerful ally against cancer.

Thank you for sharing this interesting research about PROTEXI and its potential connection to COVID-19 immune memory. While this vaccine approach is still in very early clinical trials and not yet available as a treatment option, it's encouraging to see researchers exploring new ways to help the immune system recognize cancer cells. For hormone-positive breast cancer patients currently on treatments like CDK4/6 inhibitors, any future immunotherapy would need careful study to understand how it works alongside existing hormone therapies. Connecting with others in this community who have experience with Stage III hormone-positive breast cancer and various treatment combinations could provide valuable insights and support during your treatment journey.
