One radiation oncologist’s goal for total disruption

Cleveland Clinic oncologist Roger Macklis has for some time supported the owners of the underachieving drug Zevalin as a fresh way to treat lymphatic cancer: Piggyback that drug on other chemotherapy drugs to increase the effectiveness of initial treatments. A regulatory change could happen in July that fulfills Macklis' mission for greater use of drugs like Zevalin.
