## Resource

Ninety-two-year-old Brenda Iveson became the UK’s first patient to receive a groundbreaking new cancer treatment — a robot-guided procedure combining chemotherapy and electrical pulses — that shrunk her liver tumor by 80% with no pain and minimal side effects. Once told she had no options, Brenda now feels strong and hopeful, crediting the innovation for giving her a new lease on life — especially for frail older patients. The hospital is part of a major European study evaluating safety, survival, and quality of life, and Brenda, a lifelong advocate for medical research, believes this breakthrough could change lives.
