A relatively new chemotherapy drug, Glivak, for stomach cancer patients is the model to develop a maintenance drug for brain tumor patients. Patients of ovarian and breast cancers already have such drugs--the tag in blood already having been uncovered for those cancers. But brain tumors are not hereditary--the only known cause is a chemical compound released during the production of plastics, and of course, rampant radiation in our environment is also a suspect.
On my most recent quest for answers to questions, I learned that the drug will be ready in the next few years.
More medical updates as they happen...until next time, fellow Alchemists!
