Fatal Homotransplated Melanoma: A Case Report
Woman has advanced metastatic cancer. Doctors, because they have shit for brains, transplant a section of her tumor into her “well-informed” 80-year-old mother’s rectal muscle saying “it might kill you, but probably nothing will happen”. The tumor kills the daughter the next day. Three weeks later, the mother complains that her butt feels weird, doctors say “sure enough, that’s cancer,” and removed a whole bunch of tissue, almost certainly including all of the local tumor. A year later, the mother dies of advanced metastatic cancer.
This is why we use animal models!
