A new cancer study is attracting global attention after researchers reported that injecting an experimental immunotherapy into a single tumour appeared to spark an immune response against cancer cells in other parts of the body.

The findings, which emerged from an early-stage clinical trial, have generated considerable excitement among scientists and cancer specialists.

The reason is simple: the treatment could help the body’s immune system recognise and attack tumours far beyond the site where the injection was administered.
