Vaccine for skin cancer 'available in five years'

The scientist who developed a vaccine for cervical cancer is working on another inoculation against certain types of skin cancer that could be available in five years time.
Professor Ian Frazer, of the University of Queensland, said tests of the vaccine had proven successful on animals and that human trials could begin next year.
Mr Frazer, who delivered his findings to the Australian Health and Medical Research Congress, said a vaccine for children aged 10 to 12 could be available in five to 10 years.
The jab would protect against squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common skin cancer, but not the more deadly melanomas.
It works by targeting papillomavirus, a common infection which can turn abnormal cells into cancerous cells and is believed to cause at least five per cent of all cancers.
Mr Frazer helped develop the cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil, which is now used to inoculate millions worldwide. He hopes the skin cancer vaccine would work in a similar way.
"What we've learnt together, through the study of animal models, is that the skin has natural defences which switch off killer T cells," he told the conference.
"We've also found a number of ways to overcome these blocks and let the immune system work.
"We now want to test vaccines based on this knowledge in clinical trials, to find out whether we can develop vaccines that could be used to treat people at risk of skin cancer."
Australia suffers from the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, with 1,600 people dying from the disease each year. About 400,000 people are diagnosed with non-melanoma cancers in the county, and 400 people die as a result.
Mr Frazer warned there was still no substitute for staying out of the sun.
"In the future, just as the cervical cancer vaccine will complement the cervical cancer screening program, I hope that a skin cancer vaccine will be available to help in the prevention of skin cancer, but we'll still need to stay out of the sun."
But cancer specialists have agreed.
Professor Ian Olver of the Australian Cancer Council said that even if the vaccine was proved to work in humans, the normal rules of sun exposure would not change.
"The traditional prevention messages of staying out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, covering up and using sun screen still apply.
"This would be an extra layer of protection."
Despite it limitations, Mr Olver said the discovery of the vaccine was "a good sign for the future".
"It is possible other vaccines could flow from this," he said.

This is her couch jumping moment!
Miley Cyrus, 15, was on the Ellen DeGeneres show and the talk show queen - quite comically - cornered her into talking about her new boyfriend, Justin Gastin, former underwear model and professional famewhore.
Watching the Slutty Disney star handle herself is like going to the dentist and getting drilled for an hour.
Not pleasant!
She giggles and squirms and does not come across endearing - AT ALL.

Not many Americans are interested in seeing Harry Potter's ween!
Broadway grosses for the week ending November 16th were just released and it looks like Equus is having some serious problems filling its seats.
Last week, on average, Daniel Radcliffe's play only sold a little more than half its seats per show.
On the other hand, Katie Holmes' All My Sons is doing well!
It was Broadway's 4th best performer for the week.
Mrs. Cruise's show was 91% sold on average per show.
Maybe David Beckham can step in for a few shows for his fellow Brit, Dan.
Right-winger Chuck Norris has equated the LGBT fight for gay marriage and equality to anarchy in a new column.
WTF???????
Here's a little taste of Chuck's thoughts:

WTF???????
Here's a little taste of Chuck's thoughts:
"There is a difference between respectfully advocating one's civil rights and demanding public endorsement of what many still consider to be unnatural sexual behavior through cruel coercion and repression tactics."
"On Nov. 4, the pro-gay community obviously was flabbergasted that a state that generally leans left actually voted right when it came to holy matrimony. "
It's called a fight against the notion that separate is equal, Chuck!
Also, have you heard of the separation of church and state????
We're all for people having different points of views, but when their religious beliefs get in the way of OUR RIGHTS, we're going to speak out loudly and unapologetically!

Daddy Billy Ray Cyrus even commented on the two during the LA premier of of the Slutty one's new film, Bolt. He says, "I'll tell you what – they are great friends, and they make a good team. They write a lot of songs together, and they sing – it's incredible."
We just barfed a little.
And when asked what advice he has to give his daughter, the one time music star said plenty.
Billy Ray preached, "Make good choices. Do the best you can do – mostly have fun."
Definitely! And if having fun means hooking up with your 20 year-old boyfriend, then go for it, right?
Daddy Cyrus added, "I always tell her that as long as she's having fun, then it's working."
Good parenting skills. No need to worry about the consequences of your actions kiddies, just go have fun!
He then adds, "She loves what she's doing. She has a real passion for making music as an artist. She loves being an actress, and we all feel very fortunate being in the Disney family and getting to do both of our loves."
Wow, a Disney plug! Looks like the heads at Disney have had a few talks with the Cyrus family about trying to clean up her image.
