Re: Cancer secret to success?! Finding your match!
Thank you Andy for starting this thread and Jackie and GDP for your postings.
This is a lot of information, of which some I have to digest with a dictionary and google.
Cell death end points seems very intriguing. None of us want to suffer through treatments that don't work for us.
I am always pushing for more participation in clinical trials. The system appears to me that if approved in a trial the test or treatment becomes part of standard of care, it becomes available to all cancer patients.
Why hasn't personalized cancer diagnosis and treatment made it's way into the clinical trial system? Is it because it is not patentable? and therefore no one has claim to its profits?
