thanks hopeful

I think this is the most important news stories of the year, more so than news for
taxanes risk/benefit for ER+her2- patients(although more patients are immediately affected by the latter)

mTor inhibitors are already being used (in clinical trials at least, I will check if any are FDA approved)

Let's hope this development influences treatment soon!
