Al's Comment:

This is probably the most important article about Optune.  It updates the data reported the prior year and shows a little better results.  If you can maintain over 90% compliance, the  % of patients alive at 5 years was 29.3% compared to 4.5% in the control group which was Temodar and whatever else the doctor and patient wanted to use.  This is the best survival rate ever reported in a large brain tumor trial and should finally put to rest any resistance to it's use.  At this point, Optune (plus Temodar)  should be considered the new standard of care.
