Hey Jula, if Nagourney says a drug will work on a patient then he has removed some of the patients cancer cells and tested them while they are still alive (ex-vivo) with many drugs and combinations for efficacy. He has demonstrated a high degree of accuracy. He runs one of the biggest cancer wards on the West Coast. If he wants to start using Coramsine this is a very, very good sign.

Your patients are unique…their cancer therapies should be too. By testing drugs and combinations on the patient's cancer cells in the laboratory, physicians can determine the best treatment regimen before it is administered to the patient. Rational Therapeutics assists physicians in establishing the most effective cancer treatment for a patient using a rational approach known as assay directed therapy.
