About GammaCan:
GammaCan is focusing on the commercialization of a revolutionary
anti-cancer immunotherapy that the Company believes will be proven to
be effective in reducing the metastatic spread of a wide range of
cancers. GammaCan's proposed treatment is based on IVIG, a safe,
relatively non-toxic human plasma-based product, currently used to
treat a variety of immune deficiencies and autoimmune diseases. It
works by strengthening the patient's immune system. Many experts
currently view immunotherapy as a future alternative to today's
standard chemotherapy. Approximately twenty companies produce IVIG,
and annual worldwide sales are currently in excess of 50 metric tones
with an estimated value in excess of 1.5 billion USD. IVIG is commonly
used to treat certain autoimmune diseases and blood disorders and to
replace the antibodies in people who are unable to produce them. For
