This month, the New York Times featured an article on the use of viruses to kill cancer tumors. Dr. Reid is quoted in this article. Here is an excerpt in regards to Dr. Reid's impression on viral agents being tested against advanced liver cancer:

"To see that kind of response in a randomized trial is simply unheard of," said Tony Reid, the director of clinical investigation at the Moores Cancer Center of the University of California, San Diego, who has no financial ties to the virus's manufacturer.

Dr. Reid goes on to discuss the side effects of the treatment with viruses as compared with the side effects of chemotherapy:

"In comparison to what happens with standard chemotherapy, flulike symptoms are very manageable," said Dr. Reid, who has treated hundreds of patients with oncolytic viruses.

Dear Kelly,

I have a request rather than a question.  My mom has had lymphedema for several years after breast cancer treatment (node dissection).  She was never told about prevention and I truly believe if this information had been made available to her, she may have not developed lymphedema.  Her lymphedema appeared after a small wound to her hand while working in the yard.  Had she simply worn gloves, this may have prevented her on-set.  I saw that you have dedicated part of your website to prevention and would like you to post that link in your newsletter to hopefully help others and bring awareness.  Thank you and you may use my name!
