Snake believed to be first in the world to benefit from human cancer treatment

A 23-year-old reticulated python, named after actress Jodie Foster, has reportedly become the first snake globally to benefit from human cancer treatment. The animal underwent a specialised procedure known as electrochemotherapy to treat a tumour located on her jawbone. This medical intervention marks a significant milestone in veterinary care, applying human oncological techniques to reptilian patients to successfully address malignant growths that were previously difficult to treat in such species.
