Puck, excellent review!

One point that you didn't make however: If Evacet proves efficacious with limited toxicity at lower doses, I would predict trials of the low-dose drug in women with only clinically apparent local disease. That's the current use of Tamoxifen (Which, in fact, has significant potential toxicity in the long term - read uterine cancer.)

Throughout my training (I'm an MD), we were taught that breast cancer is a systemic disease, and that without some sort of systemic approach to treatment, recurrences would be common and predictable.

A drug with limited toxicity that was helpful against tumor cells that weren't clinically apparent yet would be a Godsend.
