Re: Scientists Identify 10 Different Types of Breast Cancer

Better than previous suggestions of "thousands". But..idealist I am, hope there can be an upstream common target/achilles heel not only within a given cancer, but across cancer types. No idea if it will play out as such..but Genspera's G202 is one of few that purports to approach cancer at a level beyond the myriad permutations that keep labs busy but progress limited.
But hey..if a manageable rotation of 5 to 10 drugs can suffice..I'm all in.
Worth noting that viral approaches, including one of the early AIDS drugs, Viracept/Nefilnavir, have been showing efficacy in various cancers. Maybe we should be trying those AIDS "cocktails" on cancer.
