As of his latest scan in November, 18 months post surgery, Scolyer's cancer hasn't recurred [1]. Average time to recurrence post-surgery is 6 months.

Don't want to leap to conclusions prematurely, but that might be some progress.

He tried an experimental payload that contained two ADCs, one BRAF inhibitor and something else, maybe PD-1 inhibitor. Then he had surgery. Payload-heavy ADCs are the way forward against difficult cancers.
