Let me tell you, folks, we’ve got something incredible here. Glioblastoma, it’s a terrible brain tumor, very aggressive, not many options, bad news. But, we’ve got this thing, BCG, it’s been knocking out bladder cancer like you wouldn’t believe, and now, it might just be a game-changer for GBM too. We’ve got this guy, 67, tough guy, had bladder cancer, treated with BCG, and then boom, he’s got GBM. But guess what? After we go in, take out one of the tumors, the other just vanishes, completely gone. It’s unbelievable.
So, what we’re saying here is BCG could be a huge deal for GBM. We’re talking big potential. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, we need more research, we’ve got to dig deeper, understand how this thing works. The brain, it’s tricky, it hides from the immune system, but we’re onto something. We’re going to keep looking into this, because it could be huge. Stay tuned, we’re just getting started.
