RESEARCH
HIGHLIGHTS OF 2007
A new method of treatment for
early stage breast cancer was proposed and published (Patent pending).

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

Dr. Retsky's treatment
played a key role in this development. See Retsky 2009.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT OF 2011
The most exciting year

so long to test and hopefully implement. Watch for important additional papers in December.
