Pink is the Color for Breast Cancer Cure with Peter Culpepper of Provectus Biopharmaceuticals

Peter Culpepper, COO and CFO of Provectus Biopharmaceuticals specializing in developing oncology and dermatology therapies joins eHealth Radio and the Pharmaceutical & Cancer Prevention Channels.
Originally used as a coal tar–derived wool dye and most commonly been used as a stain for detecting ocular conditions, PV-10 is a rose bengal formulation now in clinical trials against cancer. Now, over 230 cancer patients have been treated with PV-10, including 12 in a Phase 1 recurrent breast cancer study. The PV-10 trials are now entering Phase II and so far have shown favorable results and may prove to be an arsenal against breast cancer. Peter Culpepper is here to discuss this novel approach.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Peter Culpepper discuss the following:

• Please tell us more about rose bengal, what makes it a an effective cancer fighter?
• How does PV10 work against recurrent breast cancer?
• What has been the response so far?
• What other types of cancer does PV-10 treat?
• How long before PV10 will be available to patients both affected by breast and skin cancers?
• How can patients find more information about trials?
