5 year survival rate discrepancy
Hello, don't know the remedy or even if any is needed, so instead of editing I'm posting here.
There are contradictory statements regarding 5 year survival rates in the introductory statement and the prognosis section (5-10℅ and 1-3℅ respectively.) Since they have different references, it's probably due to them being different studies, but since thye are very different, it may be confusing for some readers and difficult to reconcile.
A discussion of the years of the studies, sample size, methodology, limitations, pros and cons, and academic consensus would be ideal – as was done in the treatment section for radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and electrotherapy (and is something I am not qualified for and cannot do justice.)
Perhaps a quick fix would be to amend the prognosis section with something like: "While some studies have indicated a 5 year survival rate of 5-10℅, others have shown results as low as 1-3℅" (obviously not ideal) 222.152.169.41 (talk) 14:22, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
CAR-T-cell experimental therapy
Has anyone heard of something called CAR-T-cell experimental therapy? It seems to have produced quite good results thus far in at least one of the three persons that the news release discussed. (March 2024) 76.16.47.132 (talk) 00:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
