Who would not have relished a repeat confrontation between the conservative champion and the liberal prophet? Perhaps in October, when Thompson and Obama stand across the stage from each other, the hopes and dreams of both parties riding on their shoulders, we'll come close...
...containing colon cancer in people like Snow is the ability to detect recurrent tumors. Current imaging tests including MRI and PET scans may not pick up the small micrometastases that seed repeat growths; PET scans rely on the tumor's voracious appetite for glucose for energy, but until the tumor's activity reaches a certain threshold, it won't show up on the scan. So researchers are working on finding protein markers in the blood released by tumor cells that spread outside the colon; experts believe that cancer cells that venture outside the original tumor are equipped with special markers...
...championship repeat was just not in the cards.
