Up to 15.000 cancer patients a year could be given nivolumab in injectable form to treat 15 cancers including lung, bowel, kidney, bladder, oesophageal, skin and head and neck cancer, NHS England has announced. And you should not be worried about the subject, you should consider this only the beginning. In a few years, not so many, 15.000 cancer patients a day could be given the jab world wide and more than those 15 cancers would be treated.
NHS England is the first health service in Europe to offer patients the injectable form of the immunotherapy drug nivolumab. The injection takes only a few minutes to administer and it seems to be a good jab.
