Lynch Syndrome is a genetic condition that affects about 1.17 million Americans who are 70 to 80 percent more at-risk for colorectal cancer than the rest of the population.

Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine developed a vaccine that destroyed the mutated cells made by Lynch DNA in mice.

Since mutations in the genetic code can cause cells to grow out of control, becoming cancerous, people with Lynch Syndrome are missing one of the body's natural mechanisms to prevent tumors.

'Some mice had long-term cures and didn't develop tumors, others did develop tumors, but there were fewer and they were smaller than average per mouse,' says Dr Lipkin.

'And some developed no tumors at all, which was pleasantly surprising.

'We never see that with Lynch Syndrome mice that aren't on this kind of treatment.'
