...critics of pink-ribbon funding say that even though a lot of money is raised, it isn't necessarily being spent in a thoughtful, coordinated manner. "There's a lot of duplication on how we fund research, and there are huge gaps as well," explains BCA executive director Barbara Brenner, who would like to see more research on the environmental causes of breast cancer...
Singapore, meanwhile, with its Biopolis project, is pulling in top biomedical scientists--not just Edison Liu but Americans like geneticist Sydney Brenner and, most recently, husband-and-wife cancer researchers Neal Copeland and Nancy Jenkins, who are leaving the National Cancer Institute after two decades. They turned down competing offers from Stanford and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center because, Copeland says, "what's going on over there is amazing.

...much radiation you are exposed to in a single full-body scan. It turns out to be 100 times the radiation dose of a typical mammogram--or roughly equivalent to that received by Hiroshima survivors 1.5 miles away from the center of the atom bomb blast. According to David Brenner, lead author of the study, the risks associated with just one scan are relatively modest, likely to increase your chances of dying from a radiation-caused cancer to about 0.08%. But if you were to get scanned every year for 30 years, your risk of developing a radiation-related tumor...
