Has anyone here looked into the fruit fly study at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City? It's received a fair amount of press and was the subject of an Esquire magazine article featuring Stephanie Lee (CRC patient who has since died). It involves the breeding of fruit flies with your tumor and assaulting the thousands of fruit flies with all FDA approved drugs to come up with a cocktail that is specific to you. I've heard of this being done in mice but fruit flies have the advantage of being cheaper, faster and more plentiful. My HIPEC surgeon set up a meeting for me with the doctor heading up the CRC portion of the study tomorrow so I will learn more very soon. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about it.
