I agree that "no obvious side effects" seems excessive if you interpret that as the expected result in humans. Still, on paper this looks much more specific that anything we have.
- techdragon 5y agoThats a pretty important consideration here. If I was looking at chemotherapy & its side effects vs alternatives... the side effect list from these angiogenesis inhibitors looks a lot more focused, the sort of thing you can develop a focused regime around the monitoring and management of.
- majkinetor 5y agoConsidering that people still get prescribed Thalidomide to limit angiogenesis as a cancer treatment, and we know about its side effects (lets ignore birth defects for now), I see no particular difference with this drug.
