Obviously we need more testing, and obviously this only treats about 10% of the colorectal cancers (those of a specific type). But, it is major in that 100% were treated with the drug ONLY and after 2 years have no sign of cancer.
An experimental cancer drug had a 100% success rate : NPR |
It’s very hopeful indeed, but it’s a very tiny study. What was it? Twenty people? Fifty? It’s a long way from being approved or recommended. Considering how many people have refused a vaccine used effectively on hundreds of millions of people . . .
