Whatever the case, it makes sense to concentrate on what doctors know for sure about colon cancer, which is that early detection saves lives.

The more involved tests examine the entire length of the colon for suspect lesions...

...fact that fossilized life of the simplest bacterial grade appears in some of the most ancient rocks on Earth suggests that an origin of life in these conditions may be nearly inevitable, since incredibly improbable events should not occur so quickly.

A visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial will also have deep meaning to a man who lost childhood friends in the death camps...

...provide Dr. Bearing with a coping mechanism for cancer. A comma is the only punctuation separating life from death in the verses of Donne. There is no conclusive period, no exclamation point separating the two juxtaposed thoughts; only a simple, smooth transitional comma. Of course, cancer is not the simplest or smoothest transition between life and death. Dr. Bearing's experience thus seems to completely contradict this idea, with one important exception. The last moments of her life are exceptionally tranquil. She dies in her sleep and some time elapses before her death is even noticed by the hospital staff...
