Hi, I reverted the following edit so that we can work together to ensure the source and material meets Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). Here is the edit: "According to a study for which results were presented at American Society of Clinical Ontology (ASCO), the patients who underwent removal of their tumors and subsequently took a specific drug on daily basis experienced a remarkable reduction in almost 51 percent of death risks.<ref> {{Cite web |title=Lung Cancer Pill Reduces the Death Risk to Half: Clinical Trial Shows |url= https://www.gcatglance.com/2023/06/lung-cancer-pill-reduces-death-risk-to-half.html |access-date=2023-06-05}}</ref>" JenOttawa ( talk) 13:19, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Probably not, even news orgs such as BBC are not considered reliable for medical information. Besides, according to WP:MEDRES, single medical studies are almost never reliable. Ca ^{talk to me!} 00:45, 5 July 2023 (UTC) reply

IP 172, the page has been semi-protected for the next day. For the future, the place to request protection is WP:RFPP. Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 15:07, 5 July 2023 (UTC) reply
