Provenge Works & Costs the Same as Chemo & Comments by Bishop

July 29th, 2010 | Posted by CTL

On July 28th, the Dendreon Corporation announced “the publication of data from the pivotal Phase 3 IMPACT study in the New England Journal of Medicine, showing that PROVENGE® sipuleucel-T) demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival compared to control in men with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).  The manuscript is published in the July 29, 2010 issue of the journal.”

“These results represent the beginning of a new era in the treatment of cancer, one in which a patient’s own immune system is harnessed to fight the disease,” said Philip Kantoff, M.D., lead author of the publication, co-principal investigator of IMPACT and Chief of the Division of Solid Tumor Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. “Furthermore, the magnitude of the survival benefit coupled with the side effect profile and short duration of therapy place PROVENGE as a new standard of care for men with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic mCRPC.”

The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) also included an editorial in which three questions were raised.

Corruption Gone Wild

July 28th, 2009 | Posted by Mike Kearney

DC (Deep Capture) crosses the Country from CA to NY in a land made title wave of corruption and collusion. No collusion of billionaires has ever perpetrated so much evil on the Citizens of the Country. They do it with a smile. Will anyone stop them?

 

What can you say about a few rich and powerful people who want to stop a company from fighting cancer? How does one get his or her head around such an idea? Cancer touches all of our lives.

 

When growing up, didn’t we all detest playing with cheaters? They didn’t mind breaking the rules and yet they were the first to search for rules when a play did not go their way. They were repugnant, repulsive people. They had to have things go their way, all the time.

 

And then these despicable people grew up. They brought their cheatful ways along with them, but then they raised the stakes. They included the almighty dollar. It wasn’t enough for them to win once in a while, it was important to win all the time because money motivated them to no end. They could care less if their dear mother or grandmother died, if it meant they made another buck. That is how grotesque these people are.

 

Lust is an insatiable condition. It can never be satisfied. The folks we speak of can’t get enough of the money they lust for. They need to get help. It is an addiction that needs to be treated. And once they resort to cheating and gaming the system, they need to go to jail, too.

 

These people and the darkness that shrouds them which threatens the very core of our being, is discussed in the Dendreon Story as presented by world class journalist, Mark Mitchell. Mark connects the dots and presents the case against these aforementioned heartless cheats who have really lost their way. Go to www.DeepCapture.com and read this amazing 15 Chapter story of how these people wanted to stop medical advancements against cancer, just so they could make a buck or win another game. Referees and rule enforcers couldn’t blow their whistles quick enough, or loud enough, to stop them in their tracks. Do we have anyone out there who can stop them and bring them to justice?

WHATS GOING ON

This Is An Emergency!

We rallied outside the FDA building in Rockville, Maryland on September 18th. Now there are buses riding around Rockville and Washington, D.C., further protesting the shenanigans that took place inside the FDA building, as well as outside.

The FDA has gotten caught up with Wall Street. While it is supposed to be busy with evaluating food and drugs, its employees just can't keep their eyes off the money. So that is how decisions are being made these days.
WE'LL BE BACK

These people traveled from all across the country to protest outside the FDA Building in Rockville, Maryland. The FDA has stopped a safe and effective treatment from getting to men who need it now. The treatment is called Provenge and it treats men who have late stage prostate cancer.

The FDA appointed a panel of experts to help it decide on the safety and efficacy of Provenge. That panel voted 17-0 that Provenge was safe. And it voted 13-4 that Provenge showed substantial evidence it worked. And yet the FDA delayed it. Now it could be a year, a year and a half or it could be three years. It could be forever.

These people will keeping coming back to Rockville and they hope others will join them until the courts, the FDA, Congress or somebody does something about this travesty.
