Vaccines play an import role in cancer prevention as well as a growing role in cancer therapeutics. This article explores current knowledge regarding the role of vaccines (HPV and HBV vaccines) in protecting against preventable risk factors for select cancers as well as anti-cancer vaccines currently being used in practice. Current data suggests that routine childhood vaccination against HPV and HBV is an effective strategy for not only protecting against life-altering infectious diseases but also protecting against adult-onset cancers. Furthermore, while current vaccination practices and anti-cancer therapeutics have come a long way in recent decades, examination of CDC data also identifies areas for growth and improvement.
疫苗在癌症预防中发挥着重要作用,在癌症治疗中的作用也日益凸显。本文探讨了有关疫苗(人乳头瘤病毒疫苗和乙肝疫苗)在预防特定癌症的可预防风险因素方面的作用以及目前在实践中使用的抗癌疫苗的现有知识。目前的数据表明,儿童常规接种人乳头瘤病毒疫苗和乙肝疫苗不仅是预防改变生活的传染病的有效策略,也是预防成年期癌症的有效策略。此外,尽管近几十年来目前的疫苗接种实践和抗癌治疗方法已经取得了长足的进步,但对美国疾病控制与预防中心数据的研究也确定了有待发展和改进的领域。
