interesting, any oncologists here who can speculate on where this could lead or how it would be used? My uneducated thoughts are that perhaps people with especially nasty cancers would get a stiff dose of chemo and then follow it up with regular infusions of this drug to make the cancer coming back much less likely, also perhaps this could allow a person a longer rest period between bouts of chemo?

Reply to Phase 1 study: New medicine extends terminally-ill cancer patients' lives. Seventy percent of the patients who tested the medicine were stable after six weeks. Twelve continued the medication and were stable for 18 weeks. One woman took the medication for 17 months, and was stable for over two years by Wagamaga
