@SmokeDetector Scriptwriters can be really lazy
Add spit to any expletive and it'd look like John Wick said it.

CopperKettleQuote from a clinical trial report: Recurrence eventually affects 70–80% of patients with advanced epithelial ovar-ian cancer [2, 22], with platinum sensitivity and primary PFI being repowered as prognostic factors for recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer [22, 23]. What is the meaning of "be...

@CowperKettle VTC dictionary question
@CowperKettle I take it to mean "previous studies showed a possible link and this reaffirms it"

Does it mean "it was 100% funded", or does it mean "Chugai provided some money, but not all"?
In Russian, it's either one or the other.
