Description/Abstract:
THIS LETTER IS AN ANSWER TO A LETTER WRITTEN JULY 10, 1970 IN WHICH TH WRITER ASKS IF THERE IS ANY HOPE FOR A PATIENT LIKE HER HUSBAND IN DR. ROSEN'S CLINIC. ROSEN EXPLAINS THAT IT WILL PROBABLY BE FIVE YEARS BEFORE THE BIOMEDICAL FACILITY HERE WILL HAVE A PRACTICAL USE. ROSEN POINTS OUT THAT THE ACCELERATOR WILL NOT BE COMPLETED FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS, AND THE BIOMEDICAL FACILITY WILL NOT BE READY FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR AFTER THAT, AT WHICH TIME EXPERIMENTS WITH ANIMALS WILL START. THIS PHASE WILL PROBABLY REQUIRE TWO YEARS BEFORE CLINICAL TRIALS CAN BEGIN. ROSEN CAUTIONS THAT THIS NEW MODALITY MAY HAVE SIMILAR LIMITATIONS.
