ExThera Claimed Its Device Could Cure Cancer. But Patients Died.
Briefly

In April, a desperate journey unfolded as Kim Hudlow flew her terminally ill husband, David, from Antigua to Florida. The couple had traveled to the Caribbean for an experimental cancer treatment offered by ExThera Medical, which claimed to filter tumor cells from the blood.
