I enjoy the varied content on Free Republic.
I am not a physician and this article is hard for me to understand.
It is apparently important to you as you posted it here.
Perhaps you could give an everymans abstract about this article.
This new drug combination may or may not extend life by 9 months, but it isn’t even close to being a cure.
I’m not a doctor either, but I have some familiarity with the disease as a family member was once (tentatively) misdiagnosed with having it. It’s a cancer of the smooth muscles that shows up in organs like the uterus, intestines, stomach etc. It’s a particularly nasty cancer that can quickly spread to the lungs, liver, etc. This article is saying that a combination of 2 chemo drugs improves survival compared to each of the drugs alone.
