I was just about to post a question regarding this new chemo drug when I saw the one below - Vectibix is the exact same thing. Has anyone tried this?? One of Mark's oncologists mentioned this in passing before he signed the papers for his current trial which will be starting soon. After much research, this sounds much better. Here is another link with more stats:

I had heard that this drug was going to be approved this year. I have found a site similar to this and found patients who were on the trial in 2005. The site is www.cancercompass.com. Type the drug in the search area and it will bring up discussions of Colon patients that have taken the drug. The drug is similar to Erbitux (anti-EGRF).0
