Cuba's cancer breakthroughs are amazing! What are your thoughts on medical innovation? #CubanScience

🇨🇺 Cuba o fez novamente. Conheça VAXIRA® — uma vacina terapêutica contra o câncer desenvolvida por cientistas cubanos e argentinos que ajuda o sistema imunológico a reconhecer e destruir células de câncer de pulmão. Aprovada tanto em Cuba quanto na Argentina para câncer de pulmão de não pequenas células avançado. 🔬 Funciona imitando uma molécula encontrada nas células cancerosas, mas quase inteiramente ausente no tecido humano saudável — o que significa que ela atinge os tumores com precisão notável e poucos efeitos colaterais. 📊 Ensaios clínicos mostraram uma melhoria significativa na sobrevivência para pacientes com câncer de pulmão avançado, com a taxa de sobrevivência em 1 ano quase dobrando em comparação ao grupo controle. Dados do mundo real mostram uma sobrevivência mediana de até 24,5 meses em terapia de manutenção. 💉 Efeitos colaterais mínimos. Adequada para uso a longo prazo. Acessível e barata — ao contrário de muitas imunoterapias ocidentais que excluem os pacientes do tratamento por causa do preço. E em 2025, VAXIRA® recebeu o Prêmio Nacional de Inovação Tecnológica de Cuba. Tudo isso alcançado por um país sob décadas de bloqueio econômico dos EUA. Os Estados Unidos gastam bilhões em pesquisa contra o câncer. Cuba, sob sanções, desenvolve vacinas que o mundo nunca viu antes. 🇨🇺🔬 #VAXIRA #CubanScience #LungCancer #CancerResearch #Biotechnology

🇨🇺 Blocked, besieged, threatened… yet Cuba keeps moving forward in science and hope. Its breakthroughs against diseases like cancer defy limits and prove that Cuba creates, not destroys. #CubanScience #DropTheBlockade #BmcGambia

🇨🇺 Cuba has done it again. Meet VAXIRA® — a therapeutic cancer vaccine developed by Cuban and Argentine scientists that helps the immune system recognise and destroy lung cancer cells. Approved in both Cuba and Argentina for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. 🔬 It works by mimicking a molecule found on cancer cells but almost entirely absent in healthy human tissue — meaning it targets tumours with remarkable precision and very few side effects. 📊 Clinical trials showed a significant improvement in survival for advanced lung cancer patients, with 1-year survival nearly doubling compared to the control group. Real-world data shows median survival of up to 24.5 months in maintenance therapy. 💉 Minimal side effects. Suitable for long-term use. Affordable and accessible — unlike many Western immunotherapies that price patients out of treatment. And in 2025, VAXIRA® received Cuba's National Technological Innovation Award. All of this achieved by a country under decades of US economic blockade. The United States spends billions on cancer research. Cuba, under sanctions, develops vaccines the world hasn't seen before. 🇨🇺🔬 #VAXIRA #CubanScience #LungCancer #CancerResearch #Biotechnology ugdiplomat.com

Today's #CubanScience is the fruit of Commander #Fidel's foresight and long-term vision. His vision was always linked to this sector, projecting its development in the country and beyond our borders. #CienAñosConFidel #FidelPorSiempre @ArmandoRguezB @citmacuba

🔬 They are the engine of #CubanScience! Brave, talented, and committed women lead more than half of its projects. 👩🔬💡 Their legacy inspires girls to dream big and believe in the power of knowledge. 🌈📚 Cheers to these science heroes! 👏🇨🇺
