I saw an interesting article in our Toronto Star newspaper today
www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/diseases_cures/2013/03/15/antibodydrug_conjugates_new_drugs_for_advanced_hodgkins_lymphoma_and_her2positive_breast_cancer.html- it told about
Antibody-drug Congulates and how it helped attack the cancer cells of aggressive breast cancer with DNA marker - HER2-positive with less side effect and longer life of patient.
I looked up other listings on the web and found this (for example) since men with aggressive prostate cancer have similar markers BRCA2 which is shared with women with aggressive breast cancer.
www.targetedhc.com/publications/targeted-therapies-cancer/2012/November-2012/Antibody-Drug-Conjugates-Target-Drug-Delivery-the first level of development proved to be a failure - but others persevered with other ADC research and now others are working on a ADC prostate cancer model.
-this is not intended to start a research / who's better than... debate -just sharing information in the news - and helping spread some hope ....
-hugs,
