Is age, and race a predictor on having a successful treatment?
Is age, and race a predictor on having a successful treatment?
Age would certainly play a part in women ,as studies have shown premenopausal women have a better response to therapy that postmenopausal.
It has been my understanding from articles that I have read in the past that, yes, both age and race play a part. Here's one article I found:

The longest part of the article is the section which reports fess and support paid to the doctors and researchers. Go figure.
