...last part—the best part—a letter. Lucchino, a man whom Cosgriff had never met, had himself survived cancer against the odds. Twice—in the mid-80’s with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, for which he received a bone marrow transplant, and in the 90’s for prostate cancer—Lucchino had experienced the twin hells of cancer and chemo...
...extremely mobile, able to migrate easily from their birthplace to other parts of the body, where they can churn out more stem cells and launch new tumors. Eradicating those cells at their source might help control the spread of cancers like leukemia that flare from the blood to the bone marrow and other tissues. Blocking a stem cell's source of nutrients might be another effective strategy for drug development. Unlike normal stem cells, which tap into many different blood supplies for the oxygen and growth factors they need to survive, cancerous stem cells seem to have more addictive personalities...
...Those watching can't believe what's happening. Bernal, who performs under the name David Elsewhere, describes his dance style as a mixture of "popping, waving, liquiding, breaking, roboting."

For years, Chin and his partners aspired to establish a suburban offshoot of their trendy downtown venue, Project Shop Caf?: with its retro furniture and jazzy ambience, PS represents the ample fulfillment of that dream...
...study associating drinking fluoridated water with osteosarcoma, a rare malignant bone tumor, was published last Wednesday on “Cancer Causes and Control”, an online peer-review journal of Harvard University. Elise B. Bassin, a clinical instructor in Oral Health Policy and Epidemiology, who led the study, wrote in an e-mail that she found a significant relationship between fluoride and cancer—contradicting the findings of her dissertation adviser Chester Douglass, the chair of the Oral Health Policy and Epidemiology Department at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. “We found an association...
