I agree with Doug 100%, my doc actually did some research on xolair

when it was first being tested and he showed me the research studies

and then was just laughing about the fact that xolair causes

cancer. THis is because there were so many different forms of

cancer found in the trial studies that he said " if they are going to

say xolair causes cancer, they might as well tell us not to breathe "

My doc knows that xolair works on many people and i am hoping i will

be one of them once the fight with my insurance stops. i think that

like you said people are worried and mad they did not discover this

drug and allthough its expensive i have a feeling in the long run,

if you add everything up it might end up being cheaper than taking

all of the meds many of us are on.

Hi Doug,

In the double blind placebo study there was a minuter higher

incidence of cancer among the people in the Xolair group.

But I also remember reading (somewhere) that severely allergic

people have a lesser chance of getting cancer. So taking away there

allergy would indeed bring back their chance of getting cancer to

a 'normal' (higher) level. So it might be more wise to compare the

amount of cancer cases among xolair users to people that don't have

allergies by nature...and see how the balance shifts. It might well

be that the chance of developing cancer becomes 'normal' with xolair

and not higher.

Regards,

Edgar

The reason the package insert refers to Cancer is that when a drug gets an approval it has to include anything that happenes to subjects in the study used to gaining approval. Bloddy nose etc.... It doesn't mean that Xolair causes cancer.
