biologically, human testing relative to mice testing will most likely show little statistical difference relative to results. the idea that such a medicine will take five years for development was a conservative estimate. however, if it works (we know it works in mice and the concept is certainly appealing), it could realistically be on the market within two to three years. if endo works people dieing from cancer will request nothing less. just a personal opinion.

Andreas- I agree about your comments with regards to the potential promise of Endostatin. However, this is a classic example of a mania run up without regards to the risks associated with the stock and drug technologies. I am concerned that the market perceives this company (and stock) as the cure for cancer. It is not. It is promising, but is there a reason for the stock to close up today 40+ dollars? No. The articles in the papers brought attention to the sector, but nothing really changed from Friday. Rule One in investing: When presented with an enormous profit opportunity on a stock YOU TAKE THE PROFIT. In several days the stock will be about 1/2 of where it is right now... should you hold here and watch 1/2 of your near term value disappear? NO! You lock in the profits tomorrow buy back your shares within a week for free! Just my opinion, Tech Master
