While much recent research has not been published in this area, there is actually a long history of studies that show: (1) there is a significant number of antigens shared between tumors and embryonic tissues (called «oncofetal antigens») and, consequently,
antibodies made against tumors can also
recognize embryonic tissues, and vice versa; (2) pregnancy confers some immunity against cancer (accompanied
by antibody production against oncofetal antigens), not only against its occurrence but also against its growth; (3) similar to pregnancy, an immune response against cancer can be generated
by vaccinating animals with embryonic tissues.
