Vector1,

would you be so kind and give me the reference of this p53 story, if there is any.
Did they write in which case the test would be performed? Is it suitable for screening whole populations and detecting cancer early enough for therapy?
I can not imagine right that. Either you know the tumor and get tissue by biopsy or you do not and hardly could get enough cells/DNA from a bloodsample.
When knowing the exact damage of individual p53 gene, you do not have the corresponding gene therapy yet. Either Millennium or Incyte are developing a gene activation therapy, which could in some cases restore expression of p53 perhaps. Did you hear more about it?
Why should one not prefer BMY over the other ones. They will profit from those developements having this alliance but earn a lot and pay dividend.
