Five Different Anti-Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen(PSMA) Antibodies Confirm PSMA Expression in Tumor-associated Neovasculature1
What does it all mean?
I will put it this way: You want a "magic bullet" that can flag the presence of cancer, and then you want to locate the tumour, target it and deliver something to get rid of it.
PSMA is quite possibly the answer.
At the very least you should have highly accurate tests which identify the fact that there is cancer present. Would you like to be able to take such a definitive test?
Further, in Seattle, Dr. Murphy is carrying out studies on a vaccine for prostate cancer using this technology.
The potential for PSMA is in no way reflected in the valuation of CYTO and I expect the volumes to date are just the first group of in the know people taking up positions. The fact that Cytogen is such a pounded down stock means lots of resistance, retracings, etc. etc.
That is the opportunity both long term and for trading it. Look at the swings in just the last two weeks.
Need more information: go to the Yahoo board, as the SI board is very limited in information to date.
I obviously have postions, I do say do your own homework. But anyone investigating and looking at Cytogen would conclude it is a very good risk/reward situation. Upside big, downside small.
