Do you guys remember the big hype about 2 or 3 years ago probably, when researchers working with endostatins cured 100% of cancers in mice? It was being heralded as "the cure" and other researchers were saying the lead guy with those endostatins would have human cancer defeated within one year.
It was very interesting at the time, although the hype around it seems to have died some and it seems tough to really find out what happened/is happening with the endostatins approach.
BUT, what is REALLY interesting when this first came to light, was what one leading cancer doctor "expert" said. Note this was within one or two days of the major story about endostatins totally curing cancer in mice. This guy said, loose quote "even if these new endostatins work in humans, they will just be one more weapon in fighting cancer and will still be used alongside traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation." I mean, this guy said that, in national press. He came right out and said, probably not realizing what he was actually admitting to, that even if a miracle pill came down the pike that totally cured cancer, they would find a way to just work it into the mix with chemo/radiation/other archaic methods of treating the cancer.
