Overview
- Neill, who spoke Tuesday to Australia’s 7News, said recent scans showed no cancer after a five‑year fight with an angioimmunoblastic T‑cell lymphoma.
- He said chemotherapy kept the disease in check at first but then stopped working, leaving him in a critical state and fearing he might die.
- He entered a clinical trial for CAR‑T immunotherapy, which reprograms a patient’s own T cells to find and destroy cancer cells, and credited it with clearing the disease.
- He called on Australia’s federal and state governments to fund CAR‑T so patients can get it beyond the small number of clinical trials now offering it.
- The 78‑year‑old, known for Jurassic Park, said he is ready to return to acting and had first revealed his diagnosis in a 2023 memoir.
