RKMatters and all, do you know if the plan is to use DcVax L as adjuvant as well? Potentially this is the biggest slice of the market , in many cases currently unmet. For example in melanoma there is no effective adjuvant treatment for resected high risk stage III at the moment. Even the checkpoint inhibitors such as Yervoy, Nivolumab or Keytruda have been tested and proven effective as treatment in stage IV but none has been approved yet (also because they are being tested and for instance with Yervoy the side effectes are considerable)as adjuvant.
What I am trying to say is that while DCVax Direct has always been considered with the bigger market potential of the two, in fact it could be the other way around if DCVax L will be marketed as adjuvant for all stage 3 and possibly 2 solid tumors, also considering the non existent side effects compared to the toxicity of chemio or the sometimes serious side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors, hence serving a partly unmet market as adjuvant much bigger than mere therapy for stage IV.

Great minds think alike:-)

Very Interesting.

He said that instead she plans to look into alternative treatments. He didn't say which ones but we spoke about DCVax, in my eyes not being a candidate for her yet. First being because they didn't any tumor. And second swelling from vaccine effects. To that he said that partial removal procedures could solve those problems. He did say that many people reached out to them over her case. -- Partial RK summary of discussion with Les Goldman

I know a young woman, age 30 with Brain cancer. I told her about NWBO so she made sure that her surgeon saved the tumor that was removed. However she doesn't know where to go, she lives in Seattle. Can you help her get the info she needs, because honestly I don't know where she is to go or what to do. Interesting, huh, I am so close to this yet all I can do is tell her other than that I am pretty much helpless, what does that say about me (obviously not good) and NWBO? But never the less how can we help this young lady? She was operated approx. 1 month ago, she has not taken radiation yet or chemo, since she is afraid to harm her body even more immunity wise.

I saw Brittany's story on CNN last night. Looks like she's just postponing her decision. I think I misunderstood Les on this one, as from that report it doesn't look like she's exploring other treatments. Really sad.
