From the FT article

<< Although many of them will not make the grade in the clinic, even cautious oncologists expect a few anti-angiogenic drugs to work well on people. They will then add to our growing armory of cancer treatments, in combination with other approaches. But none will come close to curing cancer on its own. >>

Again, there will not just be "one" magic bullet. It's not a winner take all race for a cancer cure. It makes me feel more comfortable investing in cancer biotech companies.

I guess we can compare cancer cures with heart cures. There are a mess of different ACE Inhibitors and Calcium Blockers, even though their effects are very similar.

Another thing that makes me feel more comfortable, about my investment in LGND, is your enthusiasm about LGND. Your knowledge and understanding of LGND and their science, and your willingness to share your research efforts, with others, is much appreciated.
