It makes sense that this works best on a long scale. The biggest problem with cancer is its ability to spread to other organs in the body. So a vaccine would teach the body to attack the cancer when it spreads and before we can detect it.

Not really. The biggest problem in this case still is the brain tumor itself, regardless of metastasis. This vaccine will only extend your life for a few months on average.
