A universal vaccine against cancer does not exist. But you can protect yourself from those types of oncology that are caused by viruses. Among them are cervical cancer, liver cancer, Burkitt's lymphoma. It is proved that most of these diseases are caused by the virus.

These vaccines are not still effective and safe enough.
