I am immediately suspicious of anyone claiming they have found a CURE FOR ALL CANCER!!!

I would also be more impressed if I saw a reference to a real journal, and not something that looks like a company news release.

We've heard this song before.

Check out the Forbes article on this (recently posted by in this forum):

Bottom line is the author of the Forbes article (a cancer researcher) is very, very skeptical.

This is about the tenth time this has been posted in the last week. anything that sounds too good to be true, probably isn't. If it were valid, it would be published in a peer-reviewed journal instead of a self-serving press release. Here's how the American Cancer Society responded to the "news"--

"This is a news report based on limited information provided by researchers and a company working on this technology. It apparently has not been published in the scientific literature where it would be subject to review, support and/or criticism from knowledgeable peers.

"My colleagues here at American Cancer Society tell me phage or peptide display techniques, while very powerful research tools for selecting high affinity binders, have had a difficult road as potential drugs. If this group is just beginning clinical trials, they may well have some difficult experiments ahead.

"This is based on a mouse experiment which is described as “exploratory.” It appears at this point there is not a well-established program of experiments which could better define how this works—and may not work—as it moves from the laboratory bench to the clinic.

"We all have hope that a cure for cancer can be found and found quickly. It is certainly possible this approach may be work. However, as experience has taught us so many times, the gap from a successful mouse experiment to effective, beneficial application of exciting laboratory concepts to helping cancer patients at the bedside is in fact a long and treacherous journey, filled with unforeseen and unanticipated obstacles.

"It will likely take some time to prove the benefit of this new approach to the treatment of cancer. And unfortunately–based on other similar claims of breakthrough technologies for the treatment of cancer–the odds are that it won’t be successful.

Curing all Cancers has as much of a chance as me kissing my ex-wife.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
