I'm confused:
Some subjects, which included prison inmates, developed tumors from the injected cells.
and later
When I asked, “What if they had?” he calmly replied, “If they did, we’d just cut it out.”
So did they or didn't they?
- ghkbrew 8y agoWild ass guess: Some patients developed localized tumors at the injection site, which were eradicated by the host immune system. Thus some could have tumors without really developing a disease we would call cancer Edit: I've actually seen this exact reaction with subcutaneous injections of tumor cells in mice.
- troels 8y agoMakes sense. Thanks for clarifying the difference.
- cperciva 8y agoThe first sentence is talking about tumors while the second is talking about cancer.
