英国Chester Zoo的一条网纹蟒蛇名叫Jodie Foster，成为世界上首条接受电化学疗法治疗癌症的蛇类1。这条23岁、体重50公斤的蟒蛇患有纤维肉瘤，肿瘤位于下颌1。在手术切除后肿瘤复发并侵入颌骨，医疗团队遂采用电化学疗法与手术切除相结合的方式进行治疗1。
手术耗时90分钟，电化学疗法结合了抗癌药物博来霉素与精确控制的电脉冲1。经过治疗，Jodie Foster已恢复正常进食1。Chester Zoo兽医官员Ian Ashpole表示："这是我们所知首次在蛇身上使用电化学疗法"1。来自利物浦大学的Jose Alvarez Picornell指出："这将为全世界兽医同事提供学习和改进的基础"1。
A 15-foot reticulated python named Jodie Foster has made medical history by becoming the first snake in the world to undergo electrochemotherapy, a cancer treatment commonly used in humans 1. The 23-year-old, 50-kilogram python, resident at Chester Zoo in England, was diagnosed with fibrosarcoma, a malignant tumor in its lower jaw 1. After the initial tumor recurred and invaded the jawbone following surgical removal, veterinarians decided to combine electrochemotherapy with surgery to treat the condition 1.
The pioneering 90-minute procedure utilized electrochemotherapy alongside the anticancer drug bleomycin and carefully controlled electrical pulses 1. Following the combined treatment approach, Jodie Foster has returned to normal feeding 1. Ian Ashpole, a veterinary officer at Chester Zoo, stated that "this is the first time, as far as we're aware, that electrochemotherapy has been used on a snake" 1. Jose Alvarez Picornell from the University of Liverpool emphasized that the case "will provide a foundation for colleagues in veterinary medicine across the world to learn and improve upon" 1.
