Sherry;

Hang in there. I got the article on Antiangiogenesis from a posting by heblaj01. You might want to print the other part for your onc. Here is her original posting. Cathy

By the way, I'm sure your doctor could get lapitinib directly from the pharmaceutical company on a compassionate basis. Email Joe. He knows about this sort of thing.

Update On Antiangiogenesis
The Mayo Clinic in an article today titled Angiogenesis inhibitors: New cancer drugs stop tumor growth
(http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/angiogenesis/CA00079)
provides an updated summary of the of the field of antiangiogenesis in the treatment of cancer. No new developments but a worthwile link to an article on metronomic chemotherapy protocols:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/me...therapy/CA00077

This may be of interest to those becoming resistant to standard high dose chemotherapy drugs (or unable to tolerate them) as the same chemo drugs may still function as low dose angiogenesis inhibitors with decreased side effects.
