A Drug that erases your Fingerprints

May 29th 2009 18:42


Every drug has a side effect. Cancer drugs are often so powerful they have several side effects. There is a cancer drug out there that can make you "invisible." Okay, so authorities will still be able to see you but the drug can erase your finger prints. Given how hyper government officials are these days, no finger prints means you don't exist. If you don't exist but you are here anyway, you must be a terrorist.


Either that or you need a signed note from your doctor detailing how you are on an anti cancer drug that is so powerful it peels the skins off your fingers and can make it difficult to feel anything or hold anything or to keep your finger prints. How long until some arch criminal tries this? It's like something off that TV show Fringe where they keep coming up with chemicals and treatments that turn people into walking freaks.

What a a very unusual description of an oncology drug. Which drug is this? I am wondering as I work in the pharma industry and in the oncology /hematolgy field. I don't recall any invisible man meds popping up with FDA black box warinings. But who knows. I would be interested inhearing more. Thanks,

Check out the Annals of Oncology. MSNBC says this:

"The 62-year-old man was taking capecitabine, or Xeloda, to treat head and neck cancer. Upon arriving in the U.S., immigration officials asked him for his fingerprints. But the drug had caused so much redness and peeling to his fingers that the patient, identified only as Mr. S., had none."



I can't even pronounce this stuff so I will take their word for it that it does what they say it does
