** SPPI - I've given Zevalin to patients...
incredible drug...bloody expensive too (i remember it was around $15-20,000 a pop)...nice to see the expansion of indications...this should have been done a long time ago...i've wanted to give it to many other patients but couldnt'...
way better than chemo....little to no side effects...works much better too
this is the future of medicine...this is where all the new developments will be...monoclonal antibodies with therapeutic radionuclides attached to them...targeted therapy that doesn't touch the host cells...chemotherapy is garbage for the most part and should be made illegal...
i'm telling you, the next company to come out with a successful monoclonal antibody for any cancers other than lymphoma, will make billions...breast, lung, melanoma, prostate, colon - the potential is limitless...
