Lykiri: I really liked this question and answer in the interview kink you provided (Thanks!):

Maki Hsieh: Do you feel that eventually, we will have a vaccine against most cancers, like breast cancer or other cancers. Do you think that’s the foreseeable future?

Dr. Linda M. Liau: I think so, as we learn more about these cancers and these diseases, and as we get better at making vaccines because there’s right now, it’s still a lot of the immunotherapies for cancer are still quite difficult to manufacture, especially the cellular therapies, but I think as we learn more about what the antigens are for these cancers, hopefully, that’ll be the case. I mean, there are already vaccines for instance, for cervical cancer, teenage girls get that now. So, it’s just a matter of figuring out what the antigens are, what potentially would cause these cancers, and then vaccinating people against that. And we have seen now with the new research that’s been done, with the COVID vaccines in the mRNA types of vaccines, the ability to design new vaccines. I think it is quite exciting. And you can imagine making an mRNA vaccine for 50 different antigens that could potentially cause different cancers and trying to prevent those from actually forming tumours.
