Re: Mayo Cllinic IDs genes which predict which brst cancer patients respond 2 hercep

It will be years before a predictive test will be developed and clear the regulatory and reiumbursement hurdles (5-10 years), but at least those of us newly diagnosed and those in the near future may be able to enroll in clinical trials before a product like this makes it to the market, so very good news indeed.

I've printed this out to give to my Oncologist as he also participates in running clinical trials in his office.

I spent most of my career working in drug development in regulatory/quality, much of it in oncology products so it's so strange to now be on the other side of things.

Thanks for the great info!
