This transformation in distribution of age-at-death displays the impressive progression of mortality transition and its ramifications on epidemiological transition.
The rapid progression from planar imaging to single photon emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been matched by an equally impressive progression and optimization of novel radiotracers that reflect the underlying molecular physiology of a variety of cardiac disease states.
Further improvement is being generated by the new anti-CD20 obinutuzumab in the elderly and by mechanism-based treatment using kinase-targeting agents or anti-BCL2 molecules yielding high-response rate and impressive progression-free survival in the chemorefractory setting as well as in previously untreated patients.
A phase II study in patients with advanced colorectal cancer receiving first-line treatment with FOLFOXIRI-BEV achieved an impressive median progression-free survival (PFS) of 13.1 months (the first time PFS went beyond the 1-year bar) with a response rate of 77%, and 32% of patients proceeded to surgical resection of metastases (Masi et al, 2010).
Will Nixon, whose organisation PM Training creates 2,300 training and employment opportunities each year and has an impressive 75-90% progression rate to full apprenticeships, also called on government to explore personal budgets for young people so that they can determine the training they most need.

The partial response rate was 17% (Rini and Durras, 2000), not all patients had prior cytokine therapy, and it is not clear that all the patients were actively progressing at the time of treatment and this makes the interpretation of the impressive 28 week progression-free survival more difficult, especially as the overall median survival was 11.6 months (compared to 9.6 months in this study).
Similarly, for those patients who completed 2 years on abatacept, impressive retardation in radiographic progression was seen in the second year (essentially half the progression seen in the first year, with 1.07 units in year 1 to a total of 1.5 units in the second year).

Novel treatment strategies like oncolytic virotherapy have led, in some cases, to impressive effects on disease progression in human trials, suggesting that approval of an oncolytic virus therapeutic is on the horizon.
