A new mRNA vaccine against tuberculosis (TB) is showing favorable results in preclinical trials. With only one currently approved vaccine for TB – which recently surpassed COVID-19 to once again become the deadliest infectious disease on Earth – the findings are a great step forward in the quest to combat humanity’s ancient foe.

Scientists have developed a new mRNA vaccine to treat pancreatic cancer that may extend patients' lifespans by 8 to 10 years.

Personalized mRNA vaccines show promise as a pancreatic cancer treatment, according to a small, early stage trial published Wednesday.

"It's really exciting, because when we talk about curing cancer, it's not really a single monolithic disease," he added. "There are probably hundreds of different targets for ever

As per a new study, the potential of mRNA vaccines offers a personalized treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer.

There is new hope in the fight against pancreatic cancer after early trials showed that personalized mRNA vaccines can target and reduce malignant tumors. NBC News medical contributor Dr. Kavita Patel reports on the vaccine’s success against pancreatic cancer,
