The UK is entering a ' cancer renaissance' with pioneering personalised vaccines to combat some of the deadliest tumours expected by 2030, say leading experts. Trials are already underway offering patients with lung, liver, kidney, bowel and pancreas cancer jabs that could prevent the disease returning. A first-of-its-kind partnership between the NHS and cancer vaccine developers, announced last year, will mean that British patients will get priority access to these game-changing drugs. The bespoke jabs, created using the same technology behind the Covid vaccines, train the body to hunt down cancer cells, and prevent the disease from coming back. However, there are question marks over the affordability of the treatment which cost around £400,000 per patient, insiders have told MailOnline.

The vaccine is custom-built for individuals using the specific genetic makeup of their tumour - telling the body to hunt down cancer cells and prevent the deadly disease from coming back. Early results of the jab - developed by pharma giants Moderna and MSD - found it drastically improved the survival chances of the deadliest form of skin cancer. Now University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) is now leading the final phase of trials of the therapy, which scientists hope could also be used to stop lung, bladder and kidney cancer. The new jab, which is set to be tested on around 1,100 patients worldwide, is an individualised neoantigen therapy (INT) and is sometimes referred to as a cancer vaccine. One of the first patients on the trial at UCLH is Steve Young, 52, from Stevenage
