Hello All,

I went to China with my mum who had a recurrent SCC floor of mouth +lateral tongue. It was quite an experience! The hospital was quite clearly duping the poor terminally ill patients into handing over substantial amounts of money for bogus claims of a cure. They showed no compassion and would trick even parents of young children into turning up there.

Gendicine however probably does have some benefit for HNSCC, but only if it is localised and can be accessed directly. The US bio-pharm company Introgen had the same product and managed to get to stage 2 trials but failed stage 3 and the I think they have now filed for insolvency. I think they are now trying to get it trialled in EMEA.

So for my Mum ..she had about a week of Gendicine injections and her tumour did shrink, plus the infected 2 lymph nodes ended up being benign despite her oncologist being convinced they were metastasis.

We went there hoping for salvage surgery and Gendicine but when we saw the surgical site ..OMG! was like a 3rd world refugee campus ..so we fled to Adelaide Australia and mum had a complete ressection. I do know of Richard Winterborn who had some media coverage of his Gendicine treatment .. I do know that he was a real patient because my newly made friends who stayed behind while we fled gave me updates on him and he later sent me his before and after scans .. I have no idea how he is doing now.
