Dear Mr. Etherton you are lucky, my elder sister has gastric tumor and
when she diagnosed at the beginings radioiogist said us : i saw some
special data on CT scan, tumor may be stromal origin (GIST) and this is
good better than other types, and we prayed for stromal type but pathology
didnt agree with radiologist. Now i am searchig for Gendicine teraphy
for my sister, some commercial(!) organizations talks about china
style gene teraphy but many doctors suspected chinesee medical
news
Any information about gene teraphy ?? thanks
