I work in a cancer center.
There is a research lab across the street that has been curing cancer in mice for years and years. So have many other labs across the world. Next mouse I treat with cancer is going to do great. Unfortunately a mouse is not a human being, not even close.
yellowchef I'm sorry but you don't really sound like you have a clue how drug development works. It's not up to "America" to support this or not. It's a company with an idea. There are hundreds of them out there. If their idea is really a good one it will attract plenty of funding and drug development will proceed in humans. During the time it is an experimental therapy health insurance companies won't have to cover it because the company will have to supply the agent for free, to patients enrolled in their clinical trials. If it pans out as great as you hope, and makes it all the way to FDA approval, then why exactly wouldn't companies cover it?
