Halifax, N.S. - The Queen lI Health Sciences Centre in Halifax is

testing a new vaccine for people who have been treated for lung cancer.

Usually after someone has been treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy,

they are monitored every three months with a catscan.

Gage, a nurse involved in the clinical trial, says the vaccine

offers patients an additional treatment that could keep a tumour from

growing back.

Patients involved in the study will get a shot once a week for eight weeks

and then once a week every six weeks while they're being monitored. [if you
