Reviewing the FDA report, it appears that the two physicians are guilty of grave misconduct if they knowingly violated the treatment requirements set forth by both the IBA and FDA. That said, there's nothing a priori wrong with the treatment, had it been approved. Even if the result were the same. Experimental treatments are experimental for a reason. In fact, many of our treatments for cancer, including chemotherapy and radiation, are all poisons designed to kill the cancer before it kills you. Introducing a poison into a patient's body in the hope that, if you survive, you'll stop the cancer's progress is really the rule more than the exception in modern cancer treatment. We really don't have anything better.
