...microarray. Once the machine has created a few dozen of these arrays, they will be rolled up, inserted into glass tubes and doused with radioactive dye and genetic material from a range of human tissue types--from normal, healthy cells to diseased cells representing breast, prostate, lung or colon cancer. Emerging from this experiment will be a set of data points, glowing with eerie phosphorescence, that may someday lead scientists to a new cure for one of the deadliest scourges known...
...COLON CANCER Colorectal cancer is the third deadliest cancer in the U.S., and last April the FDA gave the 130,000 people in whom it is diagnosed each year some much needed help. It ruled that Camptosar, in use since 1999 as a second-line treatment, was potent enough in combination with other chemotherapy agents to now be used as a first-line therapy, even in advanced cases...

Study participants who consumed as much as 35 g of fiber a day were just as likely to develop precancerous growths in the intestines as those who were addicted to processed food.

He had an operation to remove the cancer, and the doctors got most of it, but the stroke and the surgery robbed Schulz of the will to go on drawing. He couldn't see clearly, he couldn't read. He struggled to recall the words he needed. But all that might have been tolerable except that chemotherapy had begun to make him sick to his stomach, and the statistics for Stage-4 colon cancer gave him a 20 percent chance...
