i was watching a west coast news broadcast of ktla last night and they
had a news item about herceptin.

it is a drug used in the fight against recurrence of breast cancer and
studies have found it to be be affective on 46% of the cases it has been
used on.   what makes this drug so different is that it doesn't attack
the good cells, only the estrogen positive recurring cancer cells.

since the female and male cancer here are so close in behavior as to how
the spread and how the treatments are very similar, i wonder how long it
will be before the male side will have a drug similar for the use in the
treatment of the recurrence of prostate cancer with at least a 50%
success rate.
