Un piton a fost tratat de cancer cu o procedură folosită la oameni

A 23-year-old reticulated python named Jodie Foster underwent electrochemotherapy, a first for snakes, after being diagnosed with a fibrosarcoma. The treatment involved surgical removal of the tumor and affected bone, followed by electrochemotherapy to target remaining cancer cells. Post-treatment, Jodie resumed normal feeding and activity, showcasing the potential of this emerging therapy in veterinary medicine. The procedure highlights collaboration between veterinary and oncology specialists, aiming to adapt the treatment for other reptiles in the future.
