Cancer immunotherapy jab
Patients could benefit from an immunotherapy jab for over a dozen different cancers, which can be given in just 60 seconds. The NHS is rolling out an injectable form of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) which can slash the time the treatment takes by up to 90%. The jab can be used to treat 14 different cancer types, including lung, breast, head and neck, and cervical, and works by triggering immune cells to recognise and kill cancer cells.
