England To Rollout World’s First 7-Minute Cancer Treatment Jab

Patients in England will be the first in the world to access a new seven-minute cancer treatment jab.

The new injection technology will cut treatment time by up to 75%.

The immunotherapy atezolizumab, also known as Tecentriq, is usually given to patients intravenously, directly into their veins via a drip.

The vaccine is called autogene cevumeran. It is an “mRNA vaccine,” made in a way similar to the vaccines used to prevent COVID. It will be given in combination with a drug called atezolizumab and a chemotherapy treatment called mFOLFIRINOX. Autogene cevumeran is made from a person’s own tumor cells.
