US EditionJurassic Park's Sam Neill Shares He's Cancer Free After Chemotherapy Treatment Stopped Working
The 78-year-old actor said chemotherapy stopped working before CAR T-cell therapy cleared his blood cancer.
- On Sunday, 78-year-old actor Sam Neill announced he is cancer-free following revolutionary CAR T-cell therapy. The Jurassic Park star confirmed his remission after previous chemotherapy failed to treat his rare stage 3 blood cancer.
- Neill was diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma in 2022 after noticing swollen glands while promoting Jurassic World Dominion. He initially underwent 'miserable' monthly chemotherapy, but the treatment eventually stopped working, leaving him desperate for alternatives.
- This personalized immunotherapy trains immune cells to recognize and destroy cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. Neill described his trial as 'sailing into uncharted waters,' noting he was likely 'Patient Zero' for the treatment.
- Now in remission, Neill is actively advocating for new cancer therapies to help others. He stated, 'I've just had a scan just now and there is no cancer in my body,' expressing his excitement.
- The actor plans to return to his career, noting, 'It's time I did another movie.' He emphasized his recovery is 'science at its best,' not a miracle, while supporting the Snowdome Foundation for blood cancer research.
