The fact is, people could have done the same thing to any of Dr. Stupp’s papers, I am sure. But it was not seen as collegial. In the context where it is women, I think these men cannot help themselves but try to interject themselves, claim greater expertise and rain on the parade to suggest that they know better and are still the top gorilla in the jungle.

They’ve come out to beat their chests and scream at the world, what are you looking at!!!? I am still here, and I am relevant!!!

Great post. Meirluc!!! AND when I saw the author's name, I thought,"Wasn't he the guy that was the lead investigator for the Novocure trial??? Answer: YES!!!!"

And was he involved with the 13 yer DCVa x-L trial??? Answer: NO!!

And does anybody believe that the 50 investigators in the JAMA article haven't covered all the points that Stupp is trying to make??? Answer: NO!!

And does Stupp have a " conflicted interest" with his relationship with NVCR?? Answer: Yes!!

SO you know what I do when asked about the Stupp paper?? I refer them to the JAMA arrticle!!!

Cheers,

BB

Wow, you really had your dancing shoes on there. Just kidding and definitely not meant as a negative, all your arithmetic one sum after the other left me dizzy and I may have to read it another 2-3 times to feel like I follow you 100% down at the nitty-gritty level. Seriously you do a hell of a good job with the details in making the crucial point about rGBM that kinda kicked Stuppy Sensi in his 80-year-old patooty all the way back to NVCR Palookaville IMO.

rGBM and the plus 7 more out of every 100 5-year survivors is a small but enormous number when we're talking flesh and blood patients with left alive with really good QOL instead of being dead before 2 years are out to me are huge trumps over the BS (and frankly the 6% in the non-DcVax cases doesn't seem nearly as real in more than KM curve reality. Yeah, I know the 13% is also KM but it has a heck of a lot more solid basis in real patients alive not just in theory than the supposed 6% does!).

Some folks love to make any argument they can that they think proves something but the patients are real people facing some of the worst odds anybody ever does against the very grim reaper. It's not some academic exercise!!!
