Again, the Coulter drug was discussed at the annual meeting (I say again only because I've brought up the meeting before). As has been brought up in this thread, Mr Rastetter stated that Coulter's product had some drawbacks, in that the patient will probably require hospitalization till radiation levels would be acceptable.
This hospitalization would really drive up the cost of the use of the drug, and would figure into the decisions as to usage. Of the alternatives, CHOP, treatment with Coulter's drug, and C2B8, I would think that C2B8 would be the regimen preferred by both the oncologist and the patient, with quality of life being a major factor in the determination.
