And ‘as appears from the 36 summaries of medical records compiled by Hospitals Riuniti di Brescia and handed over to the experts of the first committee set up by the Ministry of Health to evaluate the method developed by David Vannoni.

In the “analysis of individual patients “shows the number of infusions made from each patient and the disease from which he suffers, followed by a general assessment of clinical conditions, which are reported in stationary situations, or worse, in some cases, but reported improvements in subjective level by the patient or his family.

In many cases the box ‘assessment therapy’ is not compiled. In most of the cards are not reported side effects infusions were subjected to the sick, but in the most recent updates, stops at 25th of November, there were no improvements.

Vannoni: obvious lack evidence in folders. The answer to Vannoni not long in coming: “It ‘obvious – said the agency Adnkronos – that the patient records of Brescia contain no evidence of improvement. The Civil Hospital, in fact, stopped at the assessment of the safety of the therapy, which were limited to collecting the lack of side effects, being compassionate therapies and not a trial. “

There will be, in the case , doctors and biologists who will be chosen in patients. And we’ll stick to form. “

Bunting has promised to these people that if you were to find a solution ‘ Foreign ‘- with ministerial approval, and with all the papers in order – will be free to produce cell lines for them. “
