Algorithms help select each patient's tumor neoantigens, then a custom vaccine is manufactured for that individual. This is the first time a truly personalized approach has cleared a large-scale clinical hurdle, but widespread use still faces three big challenges: data, cross-cancer efficacy, and cost.
