“Our results may have provocative implications,” said Felsher. “We’ve learned that a key point that many people don’t realize is that it matters a lot how quickly the tumor is getting smaller. There’s a certain rate of regression where you’re never going to get rid of your cancer completely, but at another rate you will. For oncogene-addicted tumors, it’s a very predictable kinetic response.”

Interesting and encouraging. But if a tumor is responding at all, seems unlikely an onc would stop that therapy and try something else that might not work at all. Maybe in neoadjuvant therapy.
