<< Half of those diagnosed with cancer do not survive. About 1.2 million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer this year with about 565,000 expected to die of the disease in 1998. >> Wow! We lost 50,000, of America's best, in the Vietnam War. Yet, we have 10 times that amount dying each year in the Cancer War. << "The idea that there is a single pathway in every cancer and if you just fix that one pathway you will cure all cancer is fanciful and experience tells us that is unrealistic," Lichter said. >> There is plenty of room for multiple attacks on cancer, and LGND is holding some pretty good cards. Four NDAs are projected for the 1998 - 1999 timeframe. Just waiting for the train to come in........ Thanks for posting the cancer articles. My God, you do a lot of research! Regards, Bob
