Re: any tumor tests to predict which chemos work better?

Ralph W. Moss, PhD, is the former science writer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. For over thirty years, he has independently investigated new and promising cancer treatments around the world. He is the recipient of many awards and the author of twelve books and three films, including the PBS documentary, The Cancer War.

Dr. Robert Nagourney, one of the pioneers along with Dr. Larry Weisenthal of functional profiling analysis, says the new book talks about the functional profile platform. He previously penned Cancer Therapy, Herbs Against Cancer, Questioning Chemotherapy and The Cancer Industry, which took another look at what's working and what isn't with today's treatments.

Moss' new book makes a very good case for drug sensitivity tests to see which drugs will work best. He does a tremendous job in turning over every single stone why The Test (as he calls it in the book) has struggled to gain acceptance in the billion dollar cancer medicine industry.

Also intriguing is Moss' association of cell culture assays and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the final conclusions of the book. He feels that there are many treatments of natural origin that have been proposed as candidates for cancer therapy. Some of these may have great value.
