Dear Dr. Alter,

Have you tried contacting the National Cancer Institute for clinical
trials for utilizing endostatin?

Also ca-125 of 30 is in the normal range, as you know. ARe you thinking
about hysterectomy and debulking.

There is also a very informative discussion group called the Ovarian
discussion. Here a couple of websites you may log onto for Ovarian
information and which you may receive infor on endostatin.

http://www.ovarian.org/ (National Ovarian Cancer Coalition)
http://www.nci.nih.gov/ (National Cancer Institute)
http://gynoncology.obgyn.washington.edu/Tutorials/OvarianCancer.html,
(Ovarian Cancer Review)
http://www.monitor.net/ovarian/ (Ovarian Plus)

For foods you may wish to contact the Livingston Foundation in San Diego
for information about dietary needs and endostatin information. There
number is 1-888-777-7321

Good Luck
Marty and Barb
