New ground-breaking' bowel cancer vaccine to go on trial at hospital
A potentially ground-breaking vaccine to treat early bowel cancer is set to go on trial in England and Australia.

The trial will be run by the Cancer Research UK Southampton Clinical Trials Unit and will enroll 44 patients over an 18 month period. [ more ]
