This very good article needed some copyediting. I have lowercased all drug names that are not brand names, and similarly all diseases apart from the eponymous ones are lowercased on Wikipedia. I have also formatted the references, added PMIDs, and added categories. JFW | T@lk 4 July 2005 14:45 (UTC)

You may have removed my concluding comments by accident while correcting the references. Without this conclusion, this article becomes rather superficial and rings hollow. Combination chemotherapy has in some ways been a tremendous failure - this is not a matter of opinion but solid scientific fact and this should be brought out in a conclusion. MXPULE 4th July 2005 London.

It was deliberate. There are very few articles with concluding remarks, and skimming over it I could not find anything that hadn't been covered in the article. But please leave it in if you prefer. JFW | T@lk 4 July 2005 16:37 (UTC)

What happened to the pictures of all the doctors involved? I thought they were very interesting. Matt 16:04, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

They had no source. If Mxpule could find PD/fair use imaged we'd be grateful. JFW | T@lk 21:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not happy with this page. The history of chemotherapy implies a little history of the therapy, and this reads more like a history of chemo. I would like to see some conclusions about the relative success of the original treatment regimens. Otherwise, what's there to show that any of it helped at all?Jane 13:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


This article mentions "the genetic nature of cancer" as a Scientific Truth, when there's evidence that seems to disprove that argument ( http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2006/4/prweb375398.php ). Please consider and make the following corrections, if warranted. Denvr 15:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC). What planet are you from??? user:mxpule[reply]
