    skipping the line

    I am always interested to see these papers with the specific antibodies and kinase inhibitors blocking a particular oncogenic pathway.  However I feel that instead of waiting we can skip ahead for 5-10 cents a day with less side effects with natural type molecules for cancer inhibitors.  We can even afford to carpet bomb multiple pathways with nutritional substances that may stack, and play nicely together, while skipping the line.

    In one part of the first reference above, cMet and Met are mentioned as targets.   EGCG in green tea extract has been shown to inhibit Met/cMet for several epithelial cancers including some colon cancers.
