It works on selective cell-lines. Some tumors are less dependent on glycolysis and hence will not be helped by inhibiting the Warburg effect. The carcinogenicity is linear dose dependent. Dendreon's molecule is a band-aid. It will likely be approved because it's an immunotherapeutic and well tolerated. It's not the answer by a long shot.
I hope once the testing is done they really get a going with this whole movement. You know that if this can really cure cancer that a patent won't be able to stop them. I mean are you serious? THIS COULD BE THE CURE FOR CANCER.
There are more people making a living from cancer than there are dying from it. As a previous poster said "follow the money"
Yes, but the money is in 'treating it,' and not curing it. Put people on medications for life: Profit maximization. Cure it with a cheap vaccine: Antithesis of profit maximization. Paint me cynical.
Yes, but if that's the way people are going to view things then eventually we will all die out because people are so greedy. This is ridiculous.
It seems remarkable that such a simple molecule hasn't been studied until now. Come on folks, this puppy has got 2 carbon atoms, 2 chlorines, 2 oxygens, and 1 hydrogen. Thats it! It's the acid in vinegar with two hydrogens replaced by 2 chlorines. Why wasn't this particular chemical studied 150 years ago? I guess I am skeptical.
Be careful with that DCA folks, in my searches I discovered that it lowers cholesterol and triglycerides!! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=8321813&dopt=Abstract http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/abstract/298/10/526
Greed solves that problem. Someone with a real cure will undercut all the people with "treatments" that dont cure it.
