Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a vaccine against ovarian
cancer? Well, there isn’t – but some of
our star Fred Hutch/W. Washington researchers are trying to chase one
down. They are even running a Phase I
clinical trial, now enrolling women with Stage 3 or 4 ovarian cancer who are in
remission. Other restrictions apply, as
well. I hope darned few of my loyal
readers qualify for this trial, but any who do might want to check this link:
POCRC stands for Pacific Ovarian Cancer Research
Consortium. The Hutch project I attempt
to help is an important component of POCRC.
The PI of this particular POCRC project is Dr. Nora Disis. I have never met Dr. Disis, but from random
reading she seems to be a powerhouse.
Once again: Go get ‘em, Nora!
Something fishy in Deutschland. For the last several weeks the Germans have been hitting my blog hard - more hits from there than from the U.S. and Canada combined. I hope they're not taking my stuff as serious science; that would set back German medicine a decade, at least!
