A good article for those interested about the largest Genome research facility (T-Gen) in the world in Phoenix, AZ and how they are getting closer to curing this disease within the Human Genome. One in three Americans will get Cancer in their life time.
The problem is that we all have to die of something. If we live long enough, we will probably see even a larger precentage dying of cancer. Everytime you cut your chances of dying of heart disease, you increase your chances of dying of something else. And that "something else" is often cancer.
Given a choice between cancer and some of the other things, like Alzheimers, I wonder how many would choose a quick death from cancer. I haven't made up my mind yet.
I read an article once where the theory was put forth that cancer occured when individual cells forget to do what they were programed to do. Some would forget to reproduce as they should and the organ would die, or they would reproduce too much or forget to die as they should and then you would get tumors. I forget all the details, but it was interesting. The article pointed out how various things in our environment could cause the cells to forget their particular role in maintaining our bodies.
