איני מבין. האחוזים כל כך נמוכים?

רק 2-3% זוכים לחיות יותר מ- 5 שנים?? הרי אני מכיר אנשים שעברו טיפולים כימותרפיים וחיים עימנו כבר למעלה מ-8 ואף 10 שנים. אם נניח שיש 400 אלף חולי סרטן בארץ הרי שזה יוצא 8000 איש בלבד. יש רק 8000 איש שנרפאו מסרטן בארץ? מסופקני. כלומר, אני מקווה שאין זה המצב. מישהו יכול לעודד אותנו כאן ???

אז לשם מה למדתי רפואה?

Australian cancer patient killed by quack doctor's poison, Thai police say Edmund Tadros AND agencies July 12, 2006 AN AUSTRALIAN woman is believed to be among the victims of a deregistered doctor accused of peddling fake cures for cancer AND AIDS in Thailand. Hellfried Sartori, 67, is being held on charges of fraud AND practising medicine without a licence in the northern city of Chiang Mai. Police allege that several ill foreigners travelled to Thailand with false hopes for his cures, only to die after receiving injections of a dangerous chemical compound bought for $A50,000 from Sartori. Bangkok's Nation yesterday reported that one Australian cancer patient, Kathleen Preston, had died in a Thai hospital last July. An autopsy report found an excessive amount of potassium in her blood, the report stated. Ms Preston's death is being investigated by the Northern Territory Coroner, a spokeswoman, Lorelei Fong Lim, said. "The NT Coroner's office is investigating the death of NT resident Kathleen Preston," she said. "It would be inappropriate to speculate OR pre-empt any outcome of the investigation." In Canberra, Australian Federal Police said they had passed on information from police in Western Australia AND the Northern Territory regarding Sartori's arrest. A spokesman denied a report the AFP would be seeking to extradite Sartori to face charges. Northern Territory police AND Western Australian police both declined to comment. Thai police said Sartori's internet advertisements offered desperate people all over the world the false prospect of a cure for "everything from AIDS AND cancer to allergies AND hardening of the arteries". His patients had "consultations" carried out in various hotel rooms in Chiang Mai. Several had died in hospitals in Chiang Mai, according to Thai police. Chiang Mai detectives said Sartori, who studied medicine in his native Austria, had been convicted in the US of illegally administering his so-called "ozone treatments", AND had been jailed in New York State in May 1992 AND Washington in July 1998. Professor Bruce Armstrong, the director of research at the Sydney Cancer Centre at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, dismissed the cancer treatments offered by Sartori. "Neither ozone treatments nor cesium chloride have any evidence based behind them for being effective as cancer therapies," he said. Sartori had been stripped of his medical licence in several US states, police said. It was not clear yesterday when he would appear in court OR if he would face more charges. The investigation is widening following reports he had links with cancer treatment groups in Perth AND Darwin. New Zealand police also joined the investigation after a national, named as Melissa Judith Taylor in Nation, was admitted unconscious to intensive care at Chiang Mai Hospital. Hospital officials said yesterday the woman had recovered sufficiently to return home.
