*> In other Major news,
Eribulin had failed to best Xeloda overall
there was a positive trend  in triple negative breast cancer which is the focus of CRBCM

*Apixaban may become a valid option for DVT treatment
since it does not require monitoring
and it is not cleared by the Kidneys and therefore could be used in kidney failure patients!
