A music teacher whose “bump on the head” turned out to be potentially deadly melanoma is taking part in a groundbreaking clinical trial.
Steve Young, 52, from Stevenage, was shocked to discover he had cancer after being misdiagnosed by a GP and dermatologists, none of whom thought he had anything serious.
He is now part of a trial led by University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) involving a Moderna mRNA anti-cancer jab combined with MSD’s immunotherapy drug Keytruda.
