ahhh ok. Here's why all the news today and this weekend. WSJ(5/14): Drug Advances Bring New Hope To Cancer Battle 05/13/2001 Dow Jones News Services (Copyright © 2001 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) By Ron Winslow Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal SAN FRANCISCO -- The war on cancer is shifting to a major new battlefield where a multitude of compounds hold the promise of transforming the treatment of one of medicine's deadliest diseases. At the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, which opened here over the weekend, researchers are presenting studies on a new generation of treatments that block the biochemical switches that cause normal cells to turn cancerous. The experimental agents appear to shrink or at least stanch the growth of a variety of tumors without many of the harsh side effects characteristic of conventional treatment. dbcdj.newsalert.com Roger
