RESEARCH
HIGHLIGHTS OF 2007
A new method of treatment for
early stage breast cancer was proposed and published (Patent pending).
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS OF 2008
Support builds for
our observations on bimodal relapse patterns and theory that dormancy is common in breast cancer. Our theory that the
first relapse peak is iatrogenic is becoming more accepted.
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT OF 2009
Paper published describing
Dr. Retsky's first use of a
low dose and long term continuous infusion therapy
for
early stage colon cancer. This therapy is now called metronomic chemotherapy and
Dr. Retsky's treatment
played a key role in this development. See Retsky 2009.

Dr. Retsky now at Harvard School of Public Health is co-PI of a $600k 3-year grant from Komen Foundation.
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT OF 2011
The most exciting year
so far. Editorial published stating that I used metronomic chemotherapy 17 years ago and asking why it is taking
so long to test and hopefully implement. Watch for important additional papers in December.
