Sipuleucel T, a cancer vaccine has been found to result in a benefit (a four month increase in survival) for men with metastatic prostate cancer.

Therefore, development of specific therapies targeted at CSCs holds hope for improvement of survival and quality of life of cancer patients, especially for patients with metastatic disease.

If I give a woman with breast cancer a drug called Taxol every three weeks, which is the standard, about 40 percent of women with metastatic cancer have a great response to that drug.

I won't go into this very much, but our technology, besides being able to tag tumor and metastatic lymph nodes with fluorescence, we can also use the same smart three part molecule to tag gadolinium onto the system so you can do this noninvasively.
