Some analysts think Rigel will sign a partnership this year. It would be interesting to dig into SYK as a supressor for other cancer types. If it was limited to breast cancer, at least the male part of the market would still be there . . . definitely a less manageable side effect than mild hypertensive action, and I've stayed away for similar reasons.

Gastric cancer cells are also in play. And also this one: pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Don't know how common that is. Incidentally, there is an article from 2005 suggesting SYK as a supressor of breast cancer tumor cells.

Cheers, Tuck
