Dr. Jean Belasco was featured in an article titled, "Experiment Gone Right," in the online Philadelphia Tribune July 21.
The story chronicles Dr. Belasco's successful experimental treatment of Jamilla Hanson, a 14-year-old with a malignant brain tumor who had a 20-30 percent chance of survival.
Hanson, now 22, shares her experience with fighting cancer, her care at CHOP, and her plans to help other children in similar circumstances.
