Evidence check: Cancer jab can eradicate entire tumours in patients, trial shows
The claims are based on a single phase trial presented at a conference, with only partial data for a select group; definitive benefit, safety, and general applicability are not yet established.
Early-stage only Limited human evidence
Evidence check: New ovarian cancer drug gives women more time and better quality of life - BBC News
Claims are based on trial summary data, patient/clinician testimony, and regulatory approval, but without peer-reviewed publication link or full sharing of side-effect profile, so should be viewed as promising but pending further independent verification.
Preliminary clinical benefit Randomised human evidence Potentially actionable with caution
