Pushing Stem Cells More

I have been accused of "pushing stem cells".   Here's why I think stem cell therapy can improve metastatic breast cancer patients' chances. 

1.  Heart stem cells help low LVEF-heart to regain muscle.   Implication to cancer patients?   If this research pans out, then patients who had already had lifetime doxocirubin or reaction to Herceptin can have more doxuribin/Herceptin if it's needed.

2,   Liver stem cell to reduce mortality after hepatic resection

3.   Liver stem cells to grow whole organ

Prevention and screening is a deadend that yields decreasing marginal returns.  Innovation has always saved our butts, and will save our butts in future. I am happy to push for it and run commercials for it.    There are lots of things patients can do to accelerate the process, like participating in clinical trials, go to major NCI cancer centers, donating tissue and blood samples, ask questions to make sure the research data will be shared, push for better quality clinical trials to be designed.    My blog makes more elaborate cases for these patients participation.  Please don't be put off by the lousy English.   I am not an english major or a marketer, never will be.
