Re: Injections for Tumors

[Guest guest]

Hey Pat,

If we're talking about the same thing it's called antiogenisis. Medicine is

injected in the affected person and it causes the capilarries (sp?) that

'feed' or 'nourish' the tumors.

I was essentially researched for malignant tumors but I was thinking that

maybe it also could be used for NF2.

There was a " Times Magazine " article about it a couple of months back, so

you may want to check on that.

Hi Crew,

I heard about this a while back about a new break through in

medicine. I read that there was two injections that you can get to make the

tumors disappear. It was sent to FDA for approval. My friend told me the

other day that FDA has approved the injections. I was wondering if any one

of

you have heard about this. Wonder if this can be used for NF? A tumor is a

tumor right! If this is true. I wonder who we would contact to find out if

we

can have these injections. I'm asking a lot of questions because I hope this

is for real. Waiting to hear from somebody,

Pat B.

Pat,

Something like this has been developed. How do I know? My dad works

for the company that did it. It's called Medtronic. I think they have a web

site too so maybe you could do a search of net to see what you can find. As

far as I know they haven't been used on NF2 patients. It's only worked on

specific thing, but hey it's a hellava start!

I'll go ahead and write my dad and see if he can tell me any more

about it, then I'll pass the info here again. Have a good day!
