Terms and Conditions

Only your first name will appear.  If you do not wish to use your real first name please feel free to choose a different name.  No other potentially indentifying information will be published.

It might not be possible for Dr. Weisenthal to answer every question, depending upon the number of questions received.  However, all questions are read and as many will be answered as is possible.  If your question is not answered immediately we will save it for possible future publication.

All questions answered by Dr. Weisenthal are archived and are searchable by date and topic.  You might find a question similar to yours that was addressed previously by Dr. Weisenthal.  However, seemingly similar situations often have different aspects and these may be very important.  For that reason, we encourage you to write to Dr. Weisenthal even if you find a question that appears to closely resemble your own.  

Dr. Weisenthal's answers are not intended as formal medical advice or as a substitute for it.  In all cases cancer patients should consult their own physicians.

Dr. Weisenthal's observations are based on information you describe to him.  He does not have access to your full medical record.  There could be aspects of your care, unknown to Dr. Weisenthal, that would alter his opinion of your treatment situation.

Dr. Weisenthal’s answers to your questions are not intended to encompass every treatment option that might conceivably apply to your specific clinical situation.     

Above all, please understand that personalized cytometric cancer profiling is always the perferred approach when the goal is to choose effective treatment.  There is no equivalent method to testing your actual living cancer cells in the laboratory for susceptibility to specific chemotherapy drugs.  

Please submit your question to Dr. Weisenthal using the spaces provided below.  Questions may pertain to your specific cancer treatment or, in general, to chemotherapy treatments, chemotherapy drugs and other anti-cancer agents, to clinical trials of chemotherapy agents, or to methods of choosing chemotherapy, such as personalized medicine, precision medicine, cytometric cancer profiling, gene testing, physicians' best judgement, institutional protocols, and others.
