DOZENS of NHS cancer patients will be offered a needle-free skin cancer vaccine to stop the disease returning in a major trial.

- By Hanna Geissler

It aims to boost the immune system's ability to recognise, attack and remember cancer cells.

The treatment is the second to be added to the Cancer Vaccine Launch Pad that fast-tracks eligible patients for studies, after a bowel cancer jab.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: "This kind of innovation is nothing short of life-saving and I want to see more of these world-leading treatments being developed in the UK."
