Premieră medicală: Pitonul „Jodie Foster” a fost supus unei proceduri de electrochimioterapie, pentru a vindeca o formă de cancer

A 4.5-meter-long python named 'Jodie Foster' became the first snake to undergo electrochemotherapy, a cancer treatment typically used in humans. The procedure was necessary after the snake developed a recurring fibrosarcoma that threatened its jaw. Following the treatment, the 23-year-old python has recovered and is eating normally. The veterinary team adapted the procedure for the snake, which involved a 90-minute surgery to remove the tumor and apply the therapy. This innovative approach marks a significant milestone in veterinary medicine.
