Re: [RadInfoReq #367] Beksar treatment on news last night

[Peter Fear <fearp@VAX.CS.HSCSYR.EDU>]

On the Dateline web site I got this:

       "For more information on Bexxar, readers may call 800-742-2300, a
free 24-hour information number at the University of Michigan. Ask for
category 6210 — radio-immunotherapy for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Callers can
get information on Bexxar and the opportunity to speak directly to an
oncology nurse."

This question was posed on RADINFO.  Does anyone have any information on
this?

                  ***** Original Message Follows *****

I need to know who to contact.  My husband has non-hotckins lymphoma low
grade....We did not get the spelling of the experimental treatment that
sounds like "Bekzar".  Lab 4420 at the University of Michigan.  We saw
this on "Dateline" last night.  Please send us info asap on this
experimental treatment which is injected radiation that detect the bad
cells and destroys them, with little after affect...thank you in advance
