        "But as a human treatment, it will not happen in the immediate future. Animal trials come first, and if they are successful, three rigorous human trials remain."

        How long does this process typically take?  Considering the researchers saw succes in such short periods of time, could that speed things along through the animal trials to humans?

        This looks like a pretty significant discovery.  I hope and pray they will continue to see success and that it can get out to patients as quickly as possible!!

            We are not mice, and you can kill cells with almost anything with a high enough dosage.

            Question is can you kill the right cells in humans? Melanoma is tough and smart too.

                Sounds as if you would prefer to stick with the current failed therapies.
