Prof John Wagstaff -- University of Swansea, Wales

Prof Wagstaff speaks about his highlights from the 2010 ASCO conference. These include the extremely positive results of a trial investigating ipilimumab. This monocolonal antibody modulates the immune system, activating a T-cell response which helps the body fight metastatic melanoma. A number of trials have produced encouraging results, however, ipilimumab is associated with some severe side effects. Prof Wagstaff speaks about BRAF inhibitors and their role in cancer treatment.
