Tumor vaccines are not at all equivalent to CAR-T. CAR-T involves genetically reprogramming T cells with information encoding a specific signal to find cancer, recognize it like a lock and key, and then destroy it.

CAR-T > tumor vaccines in humans for blood malignancies, and we envision the same for dogs.

I know there are groups seeing some successes in solid tumors with tumor vaccines, however.
