Overview

• Ian Smith, 87, reports his tumor markers have remained unchanged across his last three immunotherapy treatments.
• He says clinicians cannot explain the strong response and has called the outcome “incredible.”
• Doctors warned that stopping treatment could allow the disease to “roar back into life,” so he plans to continue infusions every three weeks.
• He stepped back from Neighbours earlier this year, and his longtime character received a farewell on screen.
• The stabilization has encouraged him to explore limited work such as voiceover, small roles, or a modest part on stage.
