Survey reports fall in stem cell transplants for breast cancer
The use of stem cell transplantation in breast cancer treatment soared in the early and mid 1990s but the dramatic fall that begin in 1997 as clinical trials showed it appeared to be of little benefit continues, according to new figures published in the April edition of Annals of Oncology[1]. Nearly 28,000 stem cell transplants were carried out... view more... (2004-03-30)
