American Society of Clinical Oncology Conference Videos 2007
Here are some video streams that you might be interested in from the 2007 ASCO meeting. This year there are many different presentations on treatments for the whole range of cancers. The links below will take you to updates on Kidney Cancer treatments. There are several to view.
The last two links below are in my opinion the most interesting. One is an update on current targeted therapies and the other discusses the future direction and new drugs. This includes a new drug Torisel (Temsirolimus) which may be of use to folk who have been unsuccessful on Nexavar and/or Sutent. Torisel was approved by the F&DA in June for use in the States and is likely to be approved by the EMAE for use in Europe sometime in December 2007.
