Too soon to be too optimistic,very little info in article (first I've seen on this involving Xeloda):

Sometimes one plus one makes four! Glad to see combinations making new inroads on treatment options Thanks for sharing your findings, m'dear.

Here's a VERY interesting one I just got:
sciencecodex.com/discovery_of_mechanisms_predicting_response_to_new_treatments_in_colon_cancer-91817

somewhat technical,esp if you're not familiar with PI3K/AKT,etc,but still worth your time.



And on combining chemos:Lapatinib Combined With Cetuximab Overcomes Resistance in EGFR-Driven Tumors" at

medicalnewstoday.comreleases/245513.php


And an abstract,at:spandidos-publications.com/or/28/1/15

"Simultaneous targeting of EGFR and mTOR inhibits the growth of colorecral carcinoma cells."

(Home you're doing well,steve)

Hi Steve, The last link (down under) didn't work for me and the site seems kinda sketchy...
