Moderna and Merck have made a groundbreaking breakthrough in cancer vaccine development after a century of failures. The companies' achievement is a significant milestone in the fight against cancer, with millions of people worldwide affected by the disease every year.

The breakthrough was announced on August 30, 2026, when Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel received a call while celebrating a friend's birthday at a Lebanese restaurant.
