NeoPharm (NEO-AMEX) had a big day, up 43%. The mainstream press has picked up news on a promising anti-cancer agent that they licensed from Natl Inst of Health. It's a little controversial because the public paid for development of the product and also because there is some opposition to NIH doing drug discovery, when private industry can do it.

The compound is something complexed to IL13, which binds to various cancerous cells and destroys them. It is _very early_ in development. NEO also has a cancer diagnostic product, Neomark (broxuridine for injection), for use as a cell proliferation marker to determine the labeling index in breast cancer. The FDA's Oncologic Drug Advisory Cmte will hold a hearing on it December 19.

That's a lot of possibility for an unknown $60mm company.
