I have followed Dr. Gonzalez as he has refined his treatment and attempted to quantify whether this program can consistently produce greater survival for pancreatic patients. Lately his efforts have produced fruit: in Spring of 1999 he has released a pilot study, which was initially suggested by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and which was funded by Nestle, which shows promising results (Journal of Nutrition and Cancer, Vol. 33, No. 2, pp 117 - 124) (you will find the full text of this study at Dr. Gonzalez's web site www.dr-gonzalez.com). Overall, 11 patients were part of this pilot study (all with non-resectable pancreatic cancer), and the results were very interesting. Of the 11 patients followed in the trial, 9 of 11 (81%) lived one year, 5 of 11 lived two years (45%), and 4 of 11 lived 3 years (36%). As of June 1999, 2 were still alive with no signs of disease - one at 3.5 years and one at 4.5 years. In comparison, median survival for those with non-resectable pancreatic cancer is has been found to be 17 - 22 weeks (4 - 6 months). [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]
