To connect with IBM's system, users need special software and an extra circuit board that goes into the machine...

But what are the signals that entice the blood vessels to leave their established pathways and converge on a tumor? Scientists have sought the answer to that question for years. If such signals could be blocked, they reasoned, the tumor would no longer grow...
