Cancer injection that reduces treatment time
Drug treatment times for some NHS cancer patients will be slashed by up to three quarters, thanks to an anti-cancer injection that takes as little as seven minutes to administer. Following the green light from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the NHS in England will roll out the injection to hundreds of patients each year. Currently, patients receive the life-extending immunotherapy atezolizumab (Tencentriq®) in hospital directly into their veins via a drug transfusion.
