Patient responds to treatment on CAcTUS trial

Description

“Growing up in the 70s and 80s, it was normal for me to spend long days on the beach on summerholidays to Spain," explains José - but back then, people did not make a vital connection. The proven links between sun exposure and skin cancer came back to haunt José at just 43, he says.
In January 2018, a cancerous mole was removed from José's chest and fortunately tests showed it hadn’tspread to any other part of his body. However, exactly three years later, in January 2021, he felt a lump inhis armpit which turned out to be a swollen lymph node.
When doctors made the devastating discovery that cancer had spread widely, including a 5cm tumour inhis right lung, he was diagnosed stage four melanoma. But thanks to a ground-breaking trial, José now has no signs of cancer and is looking forward to his milestone 50 birthday in March.
