MJO,
Maybe this will help? When I saw my onc. we had a discussion about
length of time for the AI's...he stated to me that, "It probably will
be longer than 5 yrs. more like ten."

I think since AI have been out the last few years and data is still
not available....but patients are now rounding in the 5th yr. the onc.
are discussing this issue and what will be of greater benefit for their
patients.

Hope this helps some.
Regards,
jean
