Based in our labs in Chelsea and Sutton, London, our scientists are at the forefront of immunotherapy research. Trials led by our researchers in malignant melanoma and head and neck cancer have benefitted patients like Tina.
Tina Manning, 53, was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2013. She later developed a secondary tumour in her brain. Tina was put on pembrolizumab, a new immunotherapy treatment, when it was approved for the treatment of melanoma.
Thanks to advances in our cancer research, there are now a number of treatment choices for people with melanoma.
