"I've just had a scan just now and there is no cancer in my body, that's an extraordinary thing. I'm very, very excited that this can happen."
"When chemotherapy stopped working, I was at a loss and it looked like I was on the way out which wasn't ideal obviously."
"It's time I did another movie. I was on chemotherapy, [which is] pretty miserable business but it was keeping me alive."
"CAR T-cell therapy is currently only available under Australia's public health system for certain cancers at certain hospitals."
Sam Neill announced he is cancer-free after participating in a CAR T-cell therapy clinical trial for stage-three angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. Initially, he was on chemotherapy, which stopped being effective. Neill expressed his excitement about the results of the therapy, stating there is no cancer in his body. He advocates for the expansion of CAR T-cell therapy availability in Australia, as it is currently limited and expensive. Neill's experience highlights the potential of this treatment for blood cancer patients.
