Great news except that by the time they start any clinical studies, phase 1,2,3 etc. and get approval to use it to treat our cancers all that read these posts will most likely be dead. Even when available if the insurance companies approve it and that's a big if the cost will probably bankrupt most of us. I guess we can dream if that's your thing.

Thanks for sharing the article, Visual. It provides another potential weapon under development in the arsenal of drugs and treatments to help stave off the killer inside us.

Although I am hopeful it will prove to be useful, and (if so) will be approved soon enough to help some of us in here who are already dealing with APC, like flyguy, I am skeptical that this is just another carrot being dangled in front of us, and by the time it goes through continuing research, 3 tiers of clinical trials and the laborious FDA and insurance approval process, many of us who are reading this now will be gone. However, it may help future generations of APC patients.
