wook and biopharm, I'm not sure Cotara is in play here, but it should be. The bugaboo about radioactive iodine is just that. Today it is not in vogue, but tomorrow it might be. It's a no-brainer really, a treatment modality that would work much better in an autocratic political environment (e.g. China) than in the malpractice arena of western countries. So we await news from China about Cotara. The beta and gamma ray emissions kill tumor. Period. The concept is solid: delivery of radioactive iodine, a proven cancer killer, to the tumor while shielding the thyroid. Simple. We'll see. Glioblastoma multiforme with a special catheter is a pretty minor application compared to lung cancer and liver cancer. Cotara penetrates to the core of cancers where anaerobic conditions allow survival of cancer cells being treated with chemo and/or irradiation, and there it releases the gamma and beta irradiation, killing refractory cancer cells at a reasonable distance from the emission source. All the Cotara anti-TNT therapy platform requires is a more modern (smaller) MAB missile.
