Dendreon's Provenge Is Scientifically Intriguing but Commercially Nonsensical

Flat-Earther,
"It is unlikely that a 1 month survival benefit with no additional quality of life benefit will ever be worth $60K under American healthcare reform"

Provenge's side effect profile is outstanding. None of the hair loss, vomiting...or death chemo can cause. The quality of life Provenge helps dying men regain is absolutely fantastic. Provenge is about twice as good as chemo(median survival). Don't forget about the many Provenge men who are still alive after 8 years!!!!! Is 8 years survival good?

If medicare pays for chemo, how can you think medicare won't pay for Provenge?

Did your great grandfather think drivers wouldn't be able to breath in the new-fangled horseless carriage because they would be moving faster than air?

The Earth is round,

Dendreon: The FDA's Commissioner Doth Protest Too Much!

Been There-
After 3 years, 33% of Provenge patients were alive while only 11% of "placebo" patients were alive......how is this a subset?

Russian Roulette Pays Off for Antigenics

Good for Russia....at least common sense still exists somewhere in the world. It's too bad the FDA doesn't have any.
