A trial has begun of a vaccine to treat an aggressive form of brain cancer.
The first patient in Europe has received the treatment at King's College Hospital in London. Robert Demeger, 62, was diagnosed with the condition earlier this year.
The personalised vaccine is designed to teach his body's immune system to fight the tumour cells.
King's is one of more than 50 hospitals - the rest are in the US - which are testing the treatment.
