Photofrin has already been approved for lung cancer in France, Germany, and I believe in Japan as well. It has also been approved in the US for esophageal cancer. Can't say for sure, but it appears as if approval here is quite probable for lung as well. Also FYI, there was an article in Investors Business Daily about photofrin several months ago that basically said photofrin and lasers would become as common a cancer treatment over the next 10 years as radiation and chemo are today. None of these treatments are cures, but the side effects from photofrin and lasers are much less debilitating than the other options. Hope this helps answer your question and also hope it helps out our investment in LSCP!
