Re: T DM-1 Activism
The cancer clinical trial system is unbelievable. Seriously. Should we let patients die in clinical trials to prove a treatment will work?
Think about it. How many people have died of cancer? Of a specific cancer. Why can't we have a standard, enroll everyone in the clinical trial in the new treatment. If they do better than the standard, the new treatment should be approved - first line, for everyone.
The entire medical system works against us, to prevent us from having new treatments. Think about it. The technology for Herceptin is decades old, and yet it was only available to primary breast cancer patients 5 years ago.
It is not just TDM1, it is the system. It is madness and it needs to change.
