The clue is finding drugs with active transport into cancer cells

I thought about that for a minute. Erbitux targets it binding, without any anti-tumor action, to cells that have EGF receptors.
I would think that any biologic agent that binds to cells should change membrane permability/stability to some degree if you want to see it have a promoting effect when administrated with a traditional anti-cancer drug.
Do you know of any side effects of administrating Erbitux. I would expect some reaction such as redness, edema, hives if it was going to work. I am sure IMCL has been wowing potential investors with pictures of fluorescent stained skin cell treated with Erbitux.
