        Mike am glad they mentioned injectables in your appointment Thursday. T-VEC really helped me (made the pembro work I think although maybe it was the TVEC alone) and why not PV-10? My guess is it works better for low tumour burden as I know it didnt help some of the other patients in my hospital.

        I like this TIL study – thanks for posting Ed – I did not understand the details but it seemed to be only taking patients who had tried all other options, they wanted to take them on!!!
        Mike – note that Angeles Clinic was recruiting for this, I hope this Jang guy is good, and if they are doing surgery and then injectables, seems a good approach. But I hope he follows the other options and can direct you there if needed

        good luck Mark

      I had just been reading these reports and they do seem very promising, Ed!!! Mike, there are several locations in CA actively recruiting –

      United States, California

      And….I don’t see anything in the “exclusions” that looks like it would disallow your participation….but that’s just me doing a quick look through. Just in case…..

        Hi Celeste – we were thinking and posting alike! I have to check the numbers they seem too good but its great they are recruiting with so few exclusion criteria -basically excluding those who didnt try the usual options first, only taking those who had been pre-treated!

        That Dr. Jang cat commented on Injectables, PV-10, But now that Mark spoke of TVEC, maybe he said TVec not PV-10! I May have mixed them 2 up….haha if PV-10 Is more for Low Tumor Burden folks, then I’m sure it was TVEC he said….
