Caveat
In view of the publicity recently Please note:
QUOTE
When I spoke to Dr Johann de Bono, the research scientist based at the Royal Marsden hospital in Sutton who is leading the team developing abiraterone for the Institute of Cancer Research, he was in a tizz about how his preliminary findings had been misrepresented. “Some parts of the press have hyped this drug way beyond what I said about it,” he complained.
“This is not a cure, let me correct that. I believe this drug definitely works – but it works much better with some patients than it does with others.”
