But if our goal is to improve access to more effective regimens for infected Americans, we are making third world subjects our guinea pigs.

Finding an effective regimen for any patient usually requires trial and error over time.

The study concluded that, "Stanford V with appropriate radiotherapy is a highly effective regimen for locally extensive and advanced HL."

Few know of newer and more effective regimens using with mifepristone or methotrexate.

Valproate alone, or most probably in combination with clonazepam, levetiracetam, lamotrigine or ethosuximide, appears to be the most effective regimen.

All have some positive and negative aspects, but the most effective regimen is generally a mixture of chemical and physical control.

While at the NCI, he was instrumental in developing combination chemotherapy programs that ultimately led to an effective regimen of curative chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease and diffuse large cell lymphomas.

In a separate report, a large Canadian study found that a shorter course of radiation following a lumpectomy for early stage breast cancer is as effective as a standard longer regimen.

Even effective regimens can be complicated and must be followed for a lifetime, which could be 50 years or longer for young infected people.

However, the present data in a well-established preclinical model of breast cancer, employing a variety of highly effective chemopreventive regimens, suggest that this is not the case.
