Quotes

Dr Lesley Walker, direrctor of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: "Assessment software like GRAIDS will have a significant role to play, helping to detect those at increased risk and reassuring those who are not."
"This drug, which is the safest option we have for MCL, shows unprecedented durable single agent activity," he said. "The favorable toxicity profile also implies that ibrutinib provides the opportunity for less intense and more effective regimens. The long-term impact of ibrutinib definitely warrants further clinical testing." Pharmacyclics Inc., which developed ibrutinib, sponsored the clinical trial

But we’re doing all we can to buck this trend." Another factor is that the disease is more common among people who smoke, are overweight, drink alcohol and consume little fruit and vegetables...
