Moment British patients test world’s first personalised mRNA jab for melanoma

Footage captures the moment the world’s first personalised mRNA cancer jab for melanoma – which also has the potential to stop lung, bladder and kidney cancer – was tested in British patients.

The “gamechanger” jab is custom-built for each person in just a few weeks.
