Update: 50 Percent of Patients in Cedars-Sinai Brain Cancer Study Alive After Five Years This was presented at the Society of Neuoroncology meeting last week. Exciting news. Using a vaccine that had no significant side effects - and doesn't even require a tumor sample, 1/2 of the patients alive at the 5 year point, and 7 out of 16 still alive 5 to 7 years after treatment. This was from the original phase 1 trial. They completed a phase 2/3 trial last year and are just waiting to see the outcome. Hopefully they will present the results of that trial soon.
Medicare Open Enrollment October 15 - December 7, 2013 I always recomment that our members on Medicare always get the best supplemental plan available. You save so much on treatments that will more than offset the cost of the insurance. We will soon see huge increases in the cost of brain tumor treatments!
