Re: NY Times article on stage IVs with stats and singling out her2+ breast
"Danny Welch, an expert on metastasis, says only a few hundred scientists in the world are trying to understand the process. "
We need hundreds of more scientists working on this and we need it today!!!!! Shame on society that it is alway seeking a return on their investment when making research decisons. What better return than a soicety that is able to beat metastasis?
