From what I remember when my daughter got papers published in a medical journal, you have to:

1. Submit the paper draft according to the proper formatting and reference requirements
2. Wait for response
3. Address any identified issues with the draft
4. Paper goes to peer reviewers
5. Address peer reviewers comments (can cycle through this)
6. Paper accepted to be published in some future issue
7. Notification of issue to be published in
8. Publication in assigned issue

For a one or two author paper of moderate content (I’m taking some liberties here) it could reasonably take 9 months give or take a few months (6-12 months) without unusual circumstances.

So I conjecture that a paper on a breakthrough treatment trial spanning over 12 years, incorporating the two new elements of external placebos and pseudo progression due to immunotherapy, and a larger set of authors, and trial sites/patients/neurosurgeons/radiologists/medical associations/etc, and during a 2+ year Covid pandemic, might reasonably take 1-2 years to be ready for publication assignment and publication.
