| tumor vaccine |
An experimental treatment for cancer. A patient's own cancer cells are injected into the blood of the patient, or mixed with the patient's white blood cells in the laboratory, which are then returned to the patient. The hope is that this will activate the white blood cells to attack the cancer, just as a polio vaccine keeps someone from getting polio by attacking any polio virus that enters the body.
