Hi Guys
Let me see if I'm following this correctly.
The argument seems to be that if we could precisely define the various pathways in individual tumours we may then have a fighting chance of a cure. Restricting this is the need to give a multiplicity of different targeted therapies and chemo which would be so toxic it would kill the patient! Some labs however already have this info but it needs assimilating.
Am I on the right track??
What about naturally occurring substances eg turmeric,vit D3 etc
