Any cell in the body of a cancer patient starts growing unexpectedly rapidly and takes the form of a tumor. The mRNA vaccine developed by Russia helps in preventing such tumors present in the body. Part of the genetic code of humans contains RNA which works to produce specific proteins for our cells.

At the same time, when our body is attacked by any virus or bacteria, mRNA technology sends a message to our cells. In which the message of making protein is given. The purpose of this message is to ensure that our immune system gets the proteins it needs to fight. The body produces antibodies which stop the growth of the tumor.
