like Allison I could only read the first paragraph, I don't get a newspaper anymore and do not want to subscribe so I will just have to wait until this article becomes free to the public.
There was some talk about this drug on the genetics of cancer course just recently,along with a test that is in trials to "map" cancer patients genetically and identify which of the specialist target drugs will work best. I suppose it could be called Bespoke treatment. The test that they are looking at in trials has already prompted Oncologists to treat other cancers with drugs designed specifically for something else with amazing results so I will be thrilled if PCa sufferers can also benefit.
Herceptin is also being used for those identified with BRCA gene.
A young woman I know is being treated with Zoladex for fybromyalgia very succesfuly, I have had my health improved dramatically by the biologically engineered drug HUMIRA, at age 48 I was told I would be in a wheelchair by age 60 and here I am at 57 going to the gym 5 days a week arthritis in remission and with no signs of the psoriasis that blighted my life since the age of 18.
There was a short article about the genetic testing in a paper I read at my brother's house 2 weeks ago, I think they get the Mail so I will see if I can find a link for that too.
