I think this is an important dialogue for us.

But honestly does it take an Aussie to point out the obvious.
Why are we not tracking this information?

So, we fail to track exactly who progressed, what stage, what characteristics, etc? And we are going to cure cancer.

Hmmmm . . . no wonder it is taking so long - everyone's dissecting cells down to receptors and pathways, but no one is looking at the landscape of the "Big Picture".

I really think SEERs should track how many patients progress to Stage IV each year, and their characteristics.

and I think I should contact them and ask . . . now that is a good idea.
