Melanoma was uncurable 15 years ago. Progress all around us.
"The 2.5-year recurrence-free survival rate for the jab in combination with Keytruda was 74.8%, compared with 55.6% for Keytruda alone, delegates at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting in Chicago heard."
The study involved 400 patients with early stage breast cancer. Half were given a vaccine to stimulate their immune system before surgery.
After seven years, 81% of patients who had the vaccine were still alive and free of breast cancer, compared with 65% of those who had received standard care.
