RE:RE:Is a 25% No Response rate inevitable ?Funny this question came up, because I've been cogitating on it myself...
It's struck me, while asking myself to think of reasons why TLT may not succeed, that we are moving in direct opposition to the profit models of the entire medical industry.
Simply put... urologists are paid, not to cure cancer, but to treat it.
So, although our non-toxic, one-to-two-outpatient-visit treatment fulfills all the criteria for a major medical success, it actually pisses off the current industry of cancer profiteers, and could even force them into other specializations.
Hospitals will empty.
Purveyors of bandages, pain-relief drugs and IVs will suffer.
Can you see why seeking a JV with that network of urologists in the US (an idea abandoned a few years ago for "unknown" reasons) was doomed to fail?
Urologists in America need to see their patients repeatedly to maximize their profits.
So we have to tread carefully if we want our cure for cancer to pass the "commercialization" test.
Big Pharma needs to be kept at bay - they have too much to lose.
The only way this will make profits for us is to face the wind, create our own, cancer-cure based Canadian Pharma-tech giant, and damn the torpedoes!
No other course of action can succeed.
IMO, of course,
