non-cytotoxic chemotherapy

One of a friend of mine's husbund has a cancer in his stomach. I heard that a part from the chemiotherapy, there is a new method that the medical field is now esperimenting on humans. Is there anybody who can tell me the name of this new method and how to get in touch with one of the doctors who is researching on it?


---------------------

-There is a non-mainstream form of chemotherapy that is used by a Dr. Joseph Gold at the Syracuse Cancer Research Center, in Syracuse, New York USA. Their telephone number is 315-472-6616. This Center specializes in "non-cytotoxic chemotherapy", i.e. the use of chemo agents such as hdrazine sulfate which are toxic to tumors but much less toxic to normal cells than standard chemo agents. According to a representative of the Center with whom I spoke, they were seeing about a 53% rate of remission in their hydrazine sulfate patients, if I recall correctly.

There are also various "complementary medicine" practitioners, such as Dr. Robert C. Atkins, at the Atkins Center in New York. This Center's telephone number is 1-800-2ATKINS, or you can find information about them on the Web at www.atkinscenter.com. (The 800 number may not work from outside the U.S. but perhaps the Web site will list an alternative number.) You can also find a statement of Dr. Atkins's philosophy and treatment methods in his book "Dr. Atkins' Health Revolution", which you should be able to find by a title or author search on www.amazon.com or Barnes & Noble's Web site, which is probably something like www.barnesandnoble.com.

-You can find a listing of new treatments which are in clinical trial at cancernet -http://cancernet.nci.nih.gov/trials/h_clinic.htm or at http://cancernet.nci.nih.gov/prot/protsrch.shtml Many international as well as US trials are listed. You can also do a medline search or check the abstracts in cancerlit. Medline can be found in many places including http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/ Cancerlit can be found at the cancernet site-http://cancernet.nci.nih.gov/
