Scientists crack 'entire genetic code' of cancer
BBC News ^ | 12/16/09 | Michelle Roberts

Scientists have unlocked the entire genetic code of two of the most common cancers - skin and lung - a move they say could revolutionise cancer care.

Not only will the cancer maps pave the way for blood tests to spot tumours far earlier, they will also yield new drug targets, say the Wellcome Trust team.

Sounds WAY to expensive! Plus it will keep people alive longer. How does that save the planet? AND, what about the drowning polar bears???

OOOOOHHHH, that's not good.

If they unlocked the entire genetic code ....... then they can start figuring out exactly what it was that caused a normal cell to mutate into a cancer cell ...... and iffen they do that ...... then the "Cigarettesmokegate" scam will be outed .... and no more extortion$ of tobacco tax monies.
