"What's the point of the Govt having a review if they're then going to ignore its findings."

The point of a govt. review is to kick the can down the road and to avoid making decisions. Straight out of the 'Yes Minister' playbook.

Engsolve will keep PHE afloat for a while, but for how long?

"This opens up more opportunities it just a matter of time before PHE have commercial success."

And for how long have we been saying this? Onwards and sideways with PHE.

What a grotesque and clumsy name. It really trips off the tongue. But I think the further from Angle the better.

It cannot, but what is the relevance of this to my comment?

To me it is totally and utterly ridiculous that the Carrot should repeat this cr^p for the zillionth time. Must pay well......

I do not doubt that AGL has potential, so far utterly wasted. but at present AGL is going through a near death experience, and I am far from certain what lies on the other side.

Carrot

Once again; it may be because the recovery rate for CTCs is inconsistent, never near 100%, even in advanced metastatic disease.

10/16 is about par for the course. I think he is paid per word.

Ham1899 has a point. It does not make him a troll.

carrot

you repeat the same question endlessly, and to **** members off even more, repeat yourself verbatim. could it be that the major players understand the limitations of parsortix rather better than you do? are you still being paid for this drivel?

I rely on haruspicy. Sod charts. Mumbojumbo for the credulous....................

Is this a rather delayed response to the excellent news on 18th Sept?

No, he has ramped AGL shamelessly for several years.

Sure, I understand. My point is that we cannot assume the presence of CTCs, and so these cells may not be available. in which case other invasive approaches may be needed such as fine needle aspiration under ultrasound guidance. Obviously not feasible for all mets but for it is remarkable how precisely a small mass can be biopsied in this way.

"Maybe blood analysis will one day render tissue analysis obsolete?"

Carrot continues to produce half digested and muddled thinking as part of his protracted ramping (all of course with his usual disclaimer IMHO). Tissue analysis will always be required, and if you are going to excise a lump, why not analyse the bloody thing?. It allows for an initial focussed treatment plan (eg. HER+ vs HER-ve ) I acknowledge that tumours evolve antigenically, and that is where CTCs are useful. But the MAJOR caveat is that CTCs are only present when there is metastasis, but it is not a given that CTCs will always be found in blood when there is clear evidence of mets.

As someone who has posted 146 posts in the last 14 days, just 10/day, you have monumental chutzpah to comment on anyone's contribution to this board. If anyone should back off it is you.

FFS stop repeating this cr*p. We have heard it all before countless times.

The Troll Finder General often becomes over-excitable towards the end of the day. Cannot imagine what causes it...... Has not improved since he discovered AI.

I would like to have been a fly on the wall during those discussions. I cannot imagine they were amicable. It had been ANs baby for years, but he was sufficiently inept to fail to develop it. Very good news, but difficult times ahead rebuilding.
