Umhh, excuse me?
109 remaining cells out of 1011 cells is not a 99% reduction.

In other words, if there was a 99% reduction, there would only be 1% remaining, and 1% of 1011 cells would be merely 10 cells remaining.

You're using a radiographic (xray) experiment to prove the lower limit of size for MRI sensitivity?

Apples and oranges. No relation whatsoever.

How some say there are no psPD in the CUA do not understand that they need comparison MRIs to make that determination of whether it's "true disease"; and so of course if they confound it with vaccine, it would become "Indeterminate". But I digress.



There is the fact that they used both RANO and Mac Donald criterias. There are sometimes conflicts between both sets to determine progression or pseudoprogression so I guess thoses cases happening at 2nd scan got put into the indeterminate section.

But as I told you in previous posts, there is no way to be sure that there are psPD in that section. In Linhares study they found only 2 PsPD among 70 patients using RANO criteria. We have already 33 cases confirmed in DCVax-L study, though I don't know how many patients in total underwent screeening.

RK... thanks for this very thorough post. It was very helpful and I appreciate all the DD you put into this.
I read through the entire thing. Of course, part of it was late last night and the phone fell on my face as I fell asleep, lol! ... so I got back to it this morning. :)
