Re: TDM-1 results reported @ ASCO annual mtg 2012 now in New England Journal of Medic
Phil,
I have to agree another 5 to 7 years to get TDM1 approved for primary breast cancer seems unreasonable. The entire system does not favor the patient. I once argued with a fellow cancer patient who was an attorney - and lost. Seems that cancer patients and survivors should expect to be sacrificed so that the FDA can do a proper approval process.
At least I am not the only one who sees the irony in this. Are we not the ones who are supposed to be saved instead of sacrificed?
