Re: Ctc?

I don't know..is that a way of suggesting they have no effective treatment for lung cancer?

But..it would seem no matter what information guides drug selection tools to monitor suggest when things are working or not. I wonder if CTCs won't turn out to be like other markers..helpful for some, useless for others.

Re: Ctc?

You should know about those arcane clinical studies Rich. Someone just happen to do one with lung cancer instead of breast cancer, to prove a point. 11 radiographs, 6 CT scans, a PET scan, and MRI, two echocardiograms, and an ultrasound, all within two years of diagnosis? Boy! that could be expensive. Perhaps the CTC prognostic technique could save our health care system some money?
