They have created promising vaccines for lung cancer, attracting the attention of some Americans who are willing to bypass the embargo to seek treatment in Cuba. In a remarkable collaboration, Cuban researchers are now joining forces with U.S. counterparts to expand access to these groundbreaking therapies.
