Generally, surgery for melanoma is not very hardcore. Since we’re talking about the skin, they just cut out the area. It’s not a complicated procedure and is the standard treatment for melanoma.

Cancer treatments often gave multiple components to them. Ex: someone gets chemo and then surgery as part of a standard for certain types of cancers at certain stages.

It wouldn’t make any sense for someone to get this vaccine and for them to leave the cancer on the patient.

This is huge news, contrary to what you say. Melanoma has a crazy mortality rate. Cutting it in half is a huge success.

Is it affordable yet? Clearly not. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t get there eventually.
