Gateway to health (The Sunday Telegraph, 30/04/2011, p.21)

Notes:
  • Ovarian cancer vaccine trials
  • The vaccine was offering a better quality of life for women who sometimes only have months to live
  • Many women from NSW and Victoria have been invited to participate
Summary:  A team of Australian scientists and specialists have been stydying the vaccine's development. The Cvac vaccine is giving a hope to thousands of women with ovarian cancer by keeping sufferers in remission longer and delaying relapses. The vaccine was offering a better quality of life for women who sometimes only have months to live. Diagnosed women from NSW hope to participate to the trial in Melbourne.

Personal reflection:  In my view it's very good news,because it gives a hope to live longer for sufferers of this disease. I personally believe that this vaccine will help to thousands of women with ovarian cancer to prevent relapses.
