Abstract
- The combination of personalized therapy with immunotherapy might lead to rapid complete remission in patients who are too sick to be eligible for clinical trials. We report 2 such extraordinary responders. A discussion on the use and purpose of clinical trials in this new era of very active anticancer drug discovery concludes that a paradigm shift is urgently needed.<br /> (© 2016 S. Karger AG, Basel.)
