Havana.- Cuban researchers are developing several therapeutic vaccines against cancer, as part of a strategy to improve life quality.
The work is one of the priorities of Cuba’s Molecular Immunology Center, whose experts are carrying out a score of clinical trials in seven countries.
The research is being carried out in over 18 hospitals and 15 other health facilities are expected to be included in the program soon.
Phase-two tests on humans include vaccines against advanced lung, prostrate and colon cancers.
Hospitals in Cuba, Argentina and Spain are testing a drug against melanoma and breast cancer, while the radioactive R3 monoclonal antibody is being experimented on brain tumors.
Most resources from Cuban biotechnology are used in developing several vaccines, including some against such scourges as cholera and dengue fever.

Hi, can you please send me information on the Hospitals that are conducting the research on Lung Cancer Vaccine. Thank you and have a very nice day.
A family member was diagnosed with stomach cancer. He is 48 years old. He had several tumors removed from his stomach in October. He is Cuban born, but lives in the USA. He is able to go to Cuba for this treatment. We need guidance and information where he can go or who he contacts.
Sincerely,
Beatriz Arbino
