Rick, found another one for you... ;-)

This sounds like an interesting approach. I trust Harmon's First Law Against Cancer Vaccines still applies.

Rapid restoration of immunity in immune-suppressed cancer patients using T-cell vaccines

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that protective levels of immunity against pneumococcus could be obtained in immune-suppressed myeloma patients who were given a prophylactic bacterial vaccine in addition to a new autologous T-cell-based vaccine only two weeks after their stem-cell transplantation. They will apply the principles learned from this study to hone the development of a cancer vaccine aimed directly at tumors and other cancers.
