TRIPLE NEGATIVE IN REMISSION? $ FOR CLINICAL TRIAL TO PREVENT RECURRENCE

"Jacksonville's Mayo Clinic gets $13.2 million grant for new breast cancer study"

After I tuned out last night, Twitter set the web on fire with what may be a light at the end of the tunnel for triple-negative BC patients who are in remission.  But read the article carefully:  

"The Department of Defense announcement of a $13.2 million grant this week to cover the cost for a 280-patient phase II clinical trial of vaccine in patients with breast cancer was good news for two Jacksonville organizations."

Under a photo of Dr. Keith Knutson, the article goes on to say:

 "The vaccine, which Knutson developed with the help of three colleagues at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., is designed to prevent the recurrence of the cancer in women who have been treated for triple negative breast cancer and are in remission." (bold mine)

This cost -  13 mil for 280-patient study is sobering.  May all who can enroll.
