Synthetic peptide vaccines are a nascent but highly promising therapeutic class. The field unites cancer biology and infectious disease treatment principles. There is, however, a key difference, a cancer vaccine is not prophylactic. Even though infectious disease prophylactic vaccines, such as against HPV, can prevent cancer, personalized cancer vaccines are an active treatment of an existing tumor.

This whitepaper focuses on peptide cancer vaccines, although infectious disease vaccines are also touched upon. Several considerations are important such as the peptide selection, and strategies to overcome loss of MHC. Personalization opens up regulatory challenges and these are also discussed.
