In the address to the nation, Obama said:
"Our recovery plan will launch a new effort to conquer a disease that has touched the life of nearly every american, including me, by seeking a cure for cancer in our time."
Get on board folks. The FDA is under some serious pressure this time around.
Melanoma is the least common but the most deadly skin cancer, accounting for 79% of skin cancer deaths.
Melanoma is currently the sixth most common cancer in American men and the seventh most common in American women. The median age at diagnosis is between 45 and 55, although 25% of cases occur in individuals before age 40. It is the second most common cancer in women between the ages of 20 and 35, and the leading cause of cancer death in women ages 25 to 30.
For everyone who is/was waiting for similar stem cell news...well...there it is live and direct from the presidents lips for cancer treatment and I challenge ANYONE to find a better treatment for Melanoma than Genta's Genasense application.
