Yes, BV was good company over a sandwich, Hector too :-)

And I found CC extremely kind.

Damp squibs push the sp down.

Damp squids push the sp down too.

But they aren't the same thing.

Will they serve tea for two before the presentation?

'it's a possibility avacta pivot to wellness and spa treatments'.

I reckon AVCT will be sponsording the Phillies next season and that'll be the 7am news.

Trump fans don’t really care what Trump has been up to. Part of the appeal to many.

‘Avacta's Omerta style preference to say nothing‘

A couple of times and with a view to encouraging sufferers I’ve known I’ve tried to search how to join a clinical trial but never seen avacta’s trials being listed amongst those available. Have seen details of other trials. Not actually having cancer myself does complicate things as I’ve stopped adding my info into the sites. Real patients would continue of course. Maybe the UK trials are invitation only?

Trials in real time rather than stop-start

I didn’t recc the post but I did enjoy the reference to Faron :-)

Just shows how people can jump to the wrong conclusions.

(Trying to avoid Clear Books a bit longer…)

There were actually wagers that Dolly was an alias of mysteriously departed Thornogson on initial postings. It just shows how people read these posts so incorrectly.

And I'm probably not posting much more today as I have today to get to grips with 'Clear Books' now that I'm being forced to go all MTD :-/

Good morning wyn, yes I think I shall be there - just to observe and for the experience, never having attended one of these things before. After I was told there’s a ticket for me my daughters’ school timetabled a leavers’ assembly for parents to attend same morning :-/ So wife will ‘do’ that and I will be there for the first 20 mins before slipping out and cycling for the train!

Wyn, don't worry :-)

Sorting it out has provided me with a pastime.

And is *Kipper* some kind of put-up in-joke from Tim do you suppose, for your benefit and to keep the converstaions going?

Hi Wyn, I must have heard of ITM as I see it on my watchlist but had forgotten all about it and even what they do. You've done well with that buy. I think I will 'do nothing' for the moment as I would have to sell elsewhere and don't fancy that. I sold RUA a while ago (at small loss) to buy something or other (maybe Xeros?) when the RSI went high but it's continued going up (faltered today a little). I also sold ABDX when the RSI was high but that one has behaved better in that it's fallen back now. I spent the money on AVCT so no buying back there for the moment.

So now I shall wait :-)

I also bought Farn a while ago when over-sold but it continued to fall. I suspect it will recover at some point. WH Smith was good to get out of a few months ago as things turned out. I kept one share as a bookmark. Might return when the world is less dangerous and people are travelling more again.

'if you had bought then you would have had a 70% capital loss plus having that money tied up for 5 years which just in a savings account at about 4-5% annual return would be the equiv of about 311p per share'

Cheers wyn, thanks for making me feel even worse!

'guardian angel, how lovely.'

Come to think of it who on earth would adopt the name Timster if not called Tim? You've not been telling porkies have you Tim?

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2013/mar/01/why-tough-being-called-tim

I've read some of these too but never learned anything other than Tim isn't his real name..

'While there is no publicly available "word count" for individual posters on the London South East chat, the poster Timster has written a total of 20,809 posts on the Avacta Group (AVCT) Share Chat as of April 2026.

Timster has been a member of the forum since August 2016. Given the high volume of posts over nearly a decade, their total word count likely extends into the hundreds of thousands, though the platform only tracks and displays the total number of posts rather than specific word or character counts.

Would you like to find specific recent posts or analysis shared by Timster on the forum?'

I imagine I have read a lot of them :-)

Keep going Wyn. I imagine some others here only attack you to 'Grandstand' for reccs while at the same time being interested in what you write. Otherwise they'd ignore you.

I was thinking of licence / partner for SGC alone, not for AVCT, with those figures. They are f ag packet figures too.

My point was that IF AVA6k has cracked SGC then $12,500 per patient for the licence (no profit) is probably not 'out of this world' and then the profit comes by charging more than $12.5k and for more than 10 years, and in regions beyond western-world.

Apparently the western world is around a billion people. So 8000 new cases a year.

$1B divided by 8000 = $125,000 per treatment in one year. But over 10 years the cost per patient would be $12,500 which doesn't look so bad.

And if one includes the non-western world, Chi-nah for eg..

Hi Wyn, I think the figures would be bigger once you take into account the rest of the western world

AI Overview

Salivary gland cancer is rare, with roughly 720 to 760 people diagnosed in the UK each year.

Regarding incidence per capita, data indicates:

Population Rate: Approximately 8–9 malignant salivary gland tumors occur per million people per year, or roughly 0.8 to 0.9 per 100,000.

Specific Subtypes: For specific types like Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC), the rate is about 5 people in every million in the UK, per year.

Key details regarding salivary gland cancer in the UK:

Most Common Site: Around 80% of these cancers start in the parotid glands.

Demographics: It is slightly more common in men than women and can occur in both major and minor salivary glands.

Trend: While rare, some studies suggest the incidence of major salivary gland cancers has risen from roughly 0.4 to 0.6 per 100,000 persons over recent decades.

This is just a copy / paste Wyn, but interesting. And we have an ageing population so certainly a big impact if AVCT can crack it:

Head and neck cancer primarily affects individuals over age 50, with a higher incidence in men, often linked to smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and HPV infection. Risk factors also include poor oral hygiene, betel nut usage, and exposure to industrial dust or radiation. HPV-linked cancers are increasingly common.

Key Risk Factors and Demographics

Age and Gender: Mostly occurs in people over 50, particularly over 70, and is more common in men than women.

Tobacco and Alcohol: Using tobacco products (smoking, chewing) and heavy alcohol consumption are the primary risk factors, often acting together.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV): High-risk HPV, often sexually transmitted, is a major cause of oropharyngeal cancer (back of the tongue and tonsils).

Occupational Exposure: Long-term exposure to wood dust, leather dust, asbestos, and certain chemicals (e.g., in textile or metal industries) increases risk.

Environmental/Other: Poor oral hygiene, betel nut (paan) chewing, and low immunity can contribute to risks.

Targeted Risk Groups

Men over 50: Highest risk demographic.

Those with High-Risk HPV: Often younger individuals.

Individuals with Significant Occupational Exposure: Bakers, carpenters, and metalworkers.

People with Low Immunity: Such as those with HIV or on immune-suppressing medication
