What's the core therapeutic concept behind targeted radiotherapeutics in CNS cancer? And why is that approach particularly relevant for tumors focused within the CNS?

Marc HedrickGUEST
So I think just an important point to emphasize, and that is if you look across cancer, all CNS cancers and ask, what's been the best seat in a bad movie? What's the thing that has worked the best in these patients, even though it's not great? And as I mentioned, these patients generally don't do well.

Marc HedrickGUEST
The problem with radiation, though, is that the amount of radiation, the dose that's delivered to the tumor, in other words, is limited by a number of factors.

Marc HedrickGUEST
So five years ago, we... made the determination that if we can deliver more radiation in a targeted way, in other words, higher dose to the tumor with minimal radiation delivered to normal brain and normal tissues, that we have a chance at improving outcomes and improving tumor control.

Marc HedrickGUEST
And that's indeed what Ray Albeck has shown the ability to do in early to mid-stage trials, deliver 10 to 20 times the amount of radiation that can be delivered by the best that medicine has to offer today, which is some form of external beam radiation.

Marc HedrickGUEST
And so we found that, A, feasibility, we can deliver that amount of radiation effectively.

Marc HedrickGUEST
So when I say central nervous system, you know, that's the brain and spinal cord and the surrounding tissues.

Marc HedrickGUEST
But once cancer gets beyond that or starts beyond that and is established, it becomes very difficult to treat for a variety of reasons.

Marc HedrickGUEST
You can simply divide up cancers in the central nervous system into those that originate there.
