How is this the “first experimental cancer treatment” ?
It’s not. Of course.
It may be the first triple immunotherapy (3 checkpoint inhibitors), given in a neo-adjuvant setting, in glioblastoma.
Still cool, less catchy
(Or maybe I don’t understand “world-first” ?)
- cryptopian 2y agoThe term "world-first" in this context means that this is the first specific cancer treatment of this type: > It is the first documented use of neoadjuvant triple immunotherapy in glioblastoma If the headline read "world's first" then it would imply what you understood
