Seven-minute cancer treatment jab to be rolled out in England in world-first

- NHS England expects the majority of the 3,600 patients starting atezolizumab treatment each year to switch to injections, freeing up time in chemotherapy units. Patients receiving intravenous chemotherapy alongside atezolizumab may continue with the transfusion.
