: : Hello everybody,

: : I have exactly the same question as a number of you; my father is suffering from metastatic prostate cancer, and his physician has told him that Iressa would be a great medicine for him.

: : However, we live in Holland (Europe). Can anybody tell me if the medicine is also available in Holland? Could my father participate in a trial in a European hospital? If not, can he participate in an American hospital?

: : Can anyone help me a little step forward?
: : Thank you a thousand times.

: I have a sister with advanced non small lung cancer for which Iressa has been targeted. AstroZeneca, the manufacturer has announced on 9/1/00 an Expanded Access Program for those who don't fit into clinical trials. Details call them @ 1(800)236-9933.
: God Bless.
