Trialling a new immunotherapy

Laine from Hampshire was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2011. He took part in a trial testing a new immunotherapy drug. “They explained this immunotherapy to me as a treatment that focusses directly on cancer cells. I imagined it like a sniper shot taking the cancer cells out! What research is doing to help people like me is incredible.”
