Why will E level rise and stay elevated after main tumor resection? Doesn't JF's theory cover this? Main tumour produces E (and perhaps other proteins) which keep mets in check. Once the main tumour is gone, each met attempts to become the dominant tumour producing its own E, other proteins. 100s of small but growing tumours produce more E than the one large tumour that kept the mets in check.

Why will E level rise and stay elevated after main tumor resection? Yes, it's hard to argue with that abstract. Peter

<<Aren’t mets those who actually kill people? Is there therapeutic options?>> IMHO, I would place my bet on Immunotherapy.<g> I think we will see "smart bombs or missiles" drowning on the mets sometime in the future, albeit I most likely will not be around to see it.<g> The NKs or DCs will target the mets probably in combination or with some attached plain chemo or radio-chemo.<g> ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ncbi.nlm.nih.gov RAGL Bernard
