King,

Until virtually 100% of people with a disease are cured people like Dr. Liau will be working to cure more of them. We know that DCVax-L is making a huge improvement on the SOC, but we also know that it can do better when other therapeutics are added. Dr. Liau and others are looking at what will make it even more effective.

I believe that most cancers are treated with a variety of therapeutics. When I was diagnosed with leukemia the Doctors described the protocol I'd be on, it had 8 courses, each course had a couple different chemo's, but was repeated 4 times. At the end of each course I had a few days at home, then back for the next course. I was lucky, I developed a catheter infection after the fourth course and while it was under treatment was referred to a Dr. at City of Hope for stem cell transplant. He saved me going through the last 4 courses as he determined I could go on pill chemo until I was ready to transplant. If it hadn't been for the infection, I may not have seen him until all 8 courses had been administered.

Cancer is not going to be cured with a single magic pill, people willing to experiment with a variety of treatments live longer when their cancer is deemed to be incurable. I once met a man with pancreatic cancer who had survived over 5 years without the Whipple procedure, he was willing to try anything. Each time his oncologist suggested nothing more could be done he found a different oncologist who tried something else, and he stayed alive. It's probably been 15 years since I met him, he was elderly back then, but if anyone's lived with what he was facing for 20 years, he'd be the one.
