Heres a link to the main OCF site where theres page after page of info about treatments. One thing about the radioimmunotherapy... is it something that works on OC or is it a trial? At this time theres all kinds of breakthru's being discovered but as of right now the only way to eliminate OC is thru conventional treatment such as surgery and/or radiation with or without chemo. Chemo helps make the radiation more effective. By itself, it can shrink tumors but not completely eliminate them.
