Floor 15 at Guy's Hospital in London is central to the UK’s experimental research into cancer. Here, terminally ill patients who are running out of other treatment options make the challenging decision to take part in clinical trials - in the hope that new therapies may help them live longer and also advance medical science. They know they may face difficult side effects. The BBC's Medical Editor Fergus Walsh tells the stories of four clinical trials cancer patients, their families and doctors and tracks their journeys over the past year - giving an unprecedented insight into the work on Floor 15 and the groundbreaking and complex science that offers many patients their last hope for life. A Ride production for BBC Radio 4
