What is the second line?
The Second Line consists of people who follow the band to enjoy the music, dance, and engage in "community." The Second Line's style of traditional dance, in which participants dance and walk along with the SAPCs in a free-form style with parasols and handkerchiefs, is called "second-lining".
What is the significance of a second-line cancer treatment?
Significance. Second-line treatments are available for most cancers, but the likelihood of effective options can vary with the type and stage of your cancer. In general, the chance of a good result with a second-line treatment is often lower—and is the reason that you and your oncologist began your treatment with a first-line treatment.
What is the difference between first line and second line therapy?
