Some things from Yahoo recap.com Click "Search Companies" Type in Cell Genysys Click "clinicals" I see they still mention melanoma as late as mid 1999 ims-global.com My only guess is that they decided that since there are other relatively successful techniques for dealing with melanoma, gene therapy was considered to involve a bit too much risk at this time? The evidence against this explanation comes from this interesting set of CEGE results for prostate cancer. quad-net.com ____________________________ "The gene we used to turn on the immune system is so good that it activates everything," says William G. Nelson, M.D., Ph.D. "We were not surprised to see T-cell activation, the arm of the immune system triggered by viruses, but this vaccine also stimulated new high-level antibody production. Such a complete and thorough activation of the immune system against prostate cancer has never before been seen," he says. ......... In fact, the therapy is so well tolerated by patients that no hospitalization is required. The only side effects associated with this therapy are flulike symptoms and redness and itchiness at the vaccine site for several days. ____________________________________
