The tumor had returned and was destroying the bone, but the veterinarians had an unprecedented plan: the story of the python Jodie Foster

Veterinarians at Chester Zoo successfully performed an unprecedented cancer treatment on a 4.5-meter, 50-kilogram reticulated python named Jodie Foster. The snake had suffered a recurrence of a jaw tumor that was actively destroying her bone tissue.

Faced with the aggressive condition, the medical team devised a groundbreaking intervention with no known prior history in snakes to save the animal's life, resulting in a successful recovery.
