  schema:description "Conversion therapy means giving drugs to shrink secondary tumours that cannot be operated on at first, in the hope that they become small enough to remove. It is a different goal from simply controlling the disease: the treatment is chosen for how hard it shrinks the tumour, and the scans are reviewed by a surgeon every couple of months."@en ;
