Returned to Cancer Hospital and was told (after CT >CT scans) that his cancer was gone. But renal cell carcinoma is long known to be one of those cancers which can regress spontaneously. I'd like to see what kind of job those antineoplastons could do on an oat cell carcinoma of the lung or a stage IV adenocarcinoma of the alimentary tract. Dr. Burzynski has been in the news lately, but I can't remember who is on his case this time. He does have some prominent supporters locally, including, I believe, the Harris County Attorney. Needless to say, he is not considered to be a part of the mainstream medical community, although I don't know enough about his work to say if it is scientifically rigorous or not. They all laughed at Lysenko, too. ;) Ed Uthman, MD Pathologist Houston/Richmond, TX

Jacob Piaz #2 / 3	Antineoplastons I saw a patient today who had a diagnosis of stage IV renal cell Ca diagnosed and treated at a local (nationally known) cancer hospital. He went to a place in Houston Tx run by a Dr. Burzynski and was treated with antineoplaston. Returned to Cancer Hospital and was told (after CT CT scans) that his cancer was gone. I did a search on Medline and found a number of articles on this. Makes me think this may not be all bunk. Antineoplaston is a polypeptide that is excreted in the urine of normal individuals. Supposedly has antineoplastic activity and little or no side effects. Anyone know anything about Burzynski or antineoplastons? J. Piazza, M.D.

Dr Piazza: I find this quite "interesting" since I have stage IV renal cell cancer. I had not heard of a specific case of renal cell responding to this before. Being in stable long term remission, a trip to Texas is not necessarily in my future, however. Anyway, Anti-neoplastons are an "alternative treatment"' for cancer, but one which has far more credibility than most, IMHO. A recent visit by an NCI team concluded that there had been responses in a number of cases of brain tumor including glioblastoma multiforme, and clinical trials are now in progress both at the Burzynski institute, and elsewhere. Sloan Ketterning, I think. This not withstanding, Burzynski has been embroiled in a long series of disputes with various regulatory authorities such as the FDA and the Texas medical license board for many year. You may also want to explore the relation between anti-neoplastons, and phenylacetate which is being tested at NCI now. You might want to look at my web page which is called "CancerGuide". The URL is: http://bcn.boulder.co.us/health/cancer/canguide.html I have information on anti-neoplastons under "alternative therapies". -Steve Dunn
