Cancer patient’s desperate plea for NHS to fund vital drug It's a shame that the brain tumor patients have to not only fight a terrible disease but have to worry about the expenses involved.. We are having a similiar problem here in the USA with the new treatments.
New edition of our "Brain Tumor Guide For The Newly Diagnosed" We just released the 9th edition of our guide. We went over every page and made it easier to read, fixed a few errors, and added a lot of new material!
It is available for free from our website at virtualtrials.com/faq as a downloadable e-book. You can also order a bound copy for free. Brain tumor centers may order bulk copies for free.
Personalized vaccines, next frontier in cancer treatment, to begin clinical trial This is one of the most exciting concepts... see this video: virtualtrials.com/video2011.cfm for details on how it works. Basically they start out with a general vaccine against the most common targets on the tumor. They then do a complete genetic profiling of the tumor. Using that information, they construct a cocktail using about 5 of the 72 vaccines they already made to specific targets, using the ones your tumor expresses the most.. When it is ready, they stop the general vaccine and start this new cocktail which is individualized for your tumor.
We are funding part of the USA trial of it!
