Ongoing research into the use of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines for the treatment of cancer has been expediated by the coronavirus pandemic because similar technology was used in the development of mRNA COVID‐19 vaccines. So how close are we now to the widespread clinical use of mRNA anti‐cancer vaccines?
