A new era for cancer vaccines is here, with encouraging results across multiple cancers and growing momentum to get these therapies to the patients who need them.

Parker Institute’s Kristen Dahlgren and Karen Knudsen MBA PhD joined NBC News’ Vicky Nguyen and Sam Brock to talk about the evolution of therapeutic cancer vaccines, Kristen’s own experience with breast cancer, and the work underway through the Parker Institute to accelerate research.

As Kristen shared, this is no longer just a science problem. Collaboration, coordination, and funding will be critical to turning promising research into treatments that can make a difference for people with cancer.
