Re: " Right To Try Revolt "

Phil

Thank you. Once we get right to try in all states the laws can be amended and expanded. There is a cytokine caled Interleukin-6
which is very important in the whole cancer process. anybody intersted can do their own research. One of the reason that breast cancer spreads so often to the bones is that the bone stroma is rich in Interleukin-6 producing cells.

Common sense dictates that an anti-Interleukin 6 drug MIGHT have value in cancers, particularly if used early, like right after surgery. Two such drugs do exist: Actemra and Sylvan (Siltuximab). Actemra is approved only for Rheumatoid Arthritis andSiltuximab for a rare aids syndrome called Castleman's syndrome. Maybe with the help of right to try laws these limited approvals couls be circumvented. Of course we have to get the right to try laws passed state by state first.
