Pharmacy Times spoke with Toni English about her experience participating in a clinical trial at the Orlando Health Cancer Institute and officially being cancer-free after her time in the trial.

After learning about her diagnosis of mucosal melanoma, which is a very rare disease, English was asked to participate in a clinical trial that used TIL therapy, which uses a patient’s own tumor cells as ammunition to kill cancer.
