Bowel cancer patient first in England to have personalised jab to fight disease
A man with bowel cancer has become the first person in England to be treated with a personalised jab for the disease on the NHS.
Health leaders hailed the treatment as “a landmark moment” for patients and the NHS.
Officials said thousands more people are expected to be recruited to take part in vaccine trials for various forms of cancer in the coming years as part of a new scheme.
The first patient to receive the vaccine for bowel cancer was Elliot Pfebve, 55, who was diagnosed with the disease after a routine health check with his GP.
