A tumor is not "One thing"βit is a "Jungle" of billions of cells. When you use a drug, you kill 99% of them. But 1% might have a "Mutation" that makes them "Immune" to the drug. These "Super-cells" then "Re-grow" the tumor, and the drug never works again. This is why "Combination Therapy" (using 3 drugs at once) is the standard. </div> <div style="background-color: #483D8B; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
