message: Sciencenews magazine, vol 168, p307, 11/12/05, reports that James Bennett of the Albany (N.Y.) Medical College and colleagues have synthisized a ring-shape peptide called AFPep.  This checks the progress of breast cancers in mice as well as Tamoxifen, and when given with Tamoxifen an even greater effect is observed.

Possible merge with AFP screening?
Yep, that's what i did. The part copied from there may be referring more to the triple test, than to afp alone. I have to establish this before i change it too much. Tristanb 01:04, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
