...though, scientists have amassed a wealth of information about how cancer works at the molecular level, from its first awakening in the aberrant DNA of a single cell's nucleus to its rapacious, all-out assault on the body. Armed with that information, they have been developing a broad array of weapons to attack the disease every step along the way. Many of these therapies are just beginning to reach clinical trials and won't be available to save lives for years to come. If you have cancer today, these treatments are likely to come too late to help...

Amélie's jilted concierge tipples port in the presence of a pet dog preserved by taxidermy. The wise, grandfatherly neighbor from whom Amélie seeks guidance is a misanthropic crank. Even...
...great fanfare the approval of a new drug, Gleevec, that doesn't cure all cancers but seems to be effective in treating two rare types that are particularly resistant to conventional treatment (see story below).
