are you a doctor mr. t

3/25/2012 12:36:21 AM

I'm a PhD, so I guess technically yes! I actually get to interact with patients since I'm involved in a couple of clinical trials (industry and academia) that involve some in vivo imaging and cell-based therapies and I like being able to contribute to the boots-on-the-ground parts of cancer treatment.

It always blows my mind how often I hear people talk about how there is some conspiracy to prevent a cure for cancer. Pretty much everyone I know is a cancer researcher or oncologist and, really, no one is in it for the money. There are much easier/less emotionally-draining ways to make a buck.

Anyways, if anyone actually wants to talk about promising stuff in oncology or the challenges facing them, I'd love to share... Contrary to what some people might think, there's a ton of innovation out there that could change things (for the better).

"Insight: Chasing cheaper cancer drugs LONDON (Reuters) - In a nondescript suburb south of London, tucked away behind a big hospital, Paul Workman and fellow scientists are celebrating victory in the "World Cup" of cancer drug research for their work in discovering a stream of new medicines. But the win is bitter-sweet. One of the new drugs behind the coveted prize from the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) has been deemed too costly to use in state-run British hospitals like the one next door. "

http://news.yahoo.com/insight-chasing-cheaper-cancer-drugs-090639455.html



In the long term, Workman is convinced that will happen. But for the moment the world is caught in a pinch point as global drug companies put sky-high price tags on cancer medicines in a bid to recoup development costs for drugs aimed at a relatively small number of cancer sufferers.


Evidence that hardly any of the trillions of dollars donated by us is getting to the developers.

Best had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and doctors said he had six months to live without the treatment. But Best wanted alternative measures. Click Like For Boston News Updates: Today at age 34, Best is cancer-free, happy, and he and his girlfriend, Maya, are parents of 14-month-old Max.

He also incorporated plenty of organic vegetables and filtered water into his diet. In addition to supplements and vitamin C, he began drinking Essiac herbal tea. But perhaps the biggest and most controversial aspect of his self-designed regime included 714-X, a Canadian immune-system injection that he says saved his life. The injection is not approved for use in the United States, and according to the National Cancer Institute, there is no scientific evidence to support claims that it is effective in treating any type of cancer or illness.

I don't see a single ounce of effort by anyone but myself to even question the progress being made in cancer.

In 1975, the incidence rate for female breast cancer in the United States was 105 new cases diagnosed for every 100,000 women in the population; the mortality rate was 31 deaths for every 100,000 women. the mortality rate was 31 deaths for every 100,000 women.

4/18/2012 1:30:21 AM

I'm no longer convinced he is trolling, I am now positive that he just doesn't get it.

That being said, I'll play the game.

Dr. Lyons is working on genetic research that could potentially cure cancer by linking genetics to predisposition of cancer, and possibly figuring out how to "shut off" any genes that contribute to cancer development.


As a fair disclaimer, Dr. Lyon's is also heading up the research into my son's illness, and is responsible for everything genetic regarding it. We have had millions of dollars worth of gene sequencing done on both my son's cellular DNA as well as his mitochondrial DNA.

4/18/2012 9:39:10 AM

So going back to calling me an idiot for not knowing about Dr Lyon, how the fuck did you expect me to know about Dr Lyon?

The thread is for discussing possible cures and you finally posted information that everyone can use.

Posting google articles and websites with a million words is not helpful to anyone.

The question was specific and you FINALLY got it right!

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that you finally got it right. I have had to argue with you for a whole page in order to get this information from you. This is what a discussion is all about!

The only thing better would have been a link to your doctor's site so we could follow up with him over time to monitor his progress and pass on the information.

If you couldn't tell from the previous sentences, this is a thank you and congratulation post for getting the answer right. If more people would copy that style, this thread could potentially help a lot of people in the future because chances are 3/4th of us will have cancer

Two more tragic tales of Burzynski patients
http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2012/05/two_more_tragic_tales_of_burzynski_patients.php#more

Quote :

"The thing that bothers me the most about Burzynski is how he offers false hope to patients with terminal cancer at a cost of tens--or, commonly, hundreds--of thousands of dollars. He offers his antineoplaston therapy under the auspices of clinical trials, but then requires that the patient pay exorbitant sums of money for drugs and treatments, even though requiring patients to pay to be in clinical trials is considered dubious at best and highly unethical at worst. These patients, desperate to grasp at what they perceive to be their last chance to live, then do all sorts of desperate things to raise the money, often including all sorts of fundraisers. Indeed, what piqued my interest was the reaction to the case of Billie Bainbridge, who raised loads of cash because various British celebrities took an interest in her case and participated in concerts for her charity. Meanwhile, Burzynski claims that he has higher success rates than conventional medicine, that he doesn't use chemotherapy (he does), and that his therapy is nontoxic (it isn't; it's quite toxic), selling it through interviews with credulous quackery promoters like Suzanne Somers. Elsewhere, on various patient discussion forums, Burzynski shills make it sound as though Burzynski is the only one who can save patients with stage IV cancer. He ain't, and he can't. "

"Don't forget the sad story of Laura Jo Hofsess, another of the prominent success stories on the Burzynski Patient Group website. She went to Burzynski with Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma of the Lung, with metastasis to the spine, lymph nodes, and 42 lesions in the brain....CEA tumor marker level was 41.9. And even under these grim conditions Stan agreed to take her money and "treat" her. She died about two months ago. http://coquille-today.com/2012/03/30/a-celebration-of-life-will-be-held-for-laura-jo-hofsess/ The last lines of the obituary mention that the family's faoundation is seeking donations to send to Burzynski so he may continue his "research". Luna Petagine's family admit that their daughter would have died if she continued on Burzynski's goop. Even Stan agreed it would be best to stop treatment. She's now back home in the UK at Great Ormond where doctors are working to reverse the damage done in Texas."

Various issues are discussed including an explanation of the theory, evidence of the treatment being effective including case histories, and an explanation of ulterior motives causing the medical establishment to inappropriately be opposed to such treatment."
