Showed that very low-dose nivolumab added to cheap chemotherapy improves survival in head and neck cancer, a landmark for affordable immunotherapy.
Vijay Patil is Professor of Medical Oncology at Tata Memorial Hospital, part of the Tata Memorial Centre in Mumbai, specialising in head and neck oncology. He led the randomised trial of low-dose nivolumab added to triple metronomic chemotherapy in advanced head and neck cancer, which showed that very low-dose immunotherapy combined with cheap chemotherapy improves outcomes at a fraction of the cost of standard dosing, a landmark for affordable immunotherapy. His publications include the randomised study of low-dose immunotherapy in head and neck cancer. His interests are low-dose immunotherapy, metronomic chemotherapy and pragmatic trials.
