Had a chest and abdomen CT this morning and saw Dr Einhorn afterward. Everything looks good. He indicated that there has been a little reduction in the lung cancer mass and the fluid. Abdomen is clear. Left lung continues to be clear. No new significant side effects. Will continue with the 250 mg 2X per day dose of crizotinib.
Lots of news about crizotinib this week because the American Society of Clinical Oncology had a national conference this weekend in Chicago. Two of the links are copied below.
