Data is inherently from the past. What game changers are possibly in trial now or tomorrow is not factored in. It's like saying something that's never been done before, never will be. Maybe true regarding laws of physics..not necessarily so in medicine. Those who have been toiling (too long?) in the vineyard may understandably disagree. Doesn't make them right. Her2 folks have witnessed game changing firsthand. Before Herceptin, Her2 testing wasn't always done because there was no data to support it. How many were caught somewhere between between old data and new treatment possibilities?
