Boy Becomes 1st Person To Be Cured From Terminal Cancer

A groundbreaking moment has occurred as a 13-year-old boy has overcome terminal brain cancer🧠

 

 

Lucas Jemeljanova, diagnosed at the age of six with a challenging and rare cancer known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), has beaten the odds💪

 

Typically, individuals diagnosed with DIPG have a life expectancy of nine to 12 months, but Lucas has defied these predictions thanks to medical intervention.

 

In an innovative approach, doctors extracted small samples from the tumors of patients battling the same type of cancer using a needle. This process allowed them to identify the most effective medication for each patient. Lucas was treated with everolimus, and remarkably, he became the sole participant in the study to witness the complete disappearance of his tumor.
