Lisa Siewert, Period 6 I think it's great that specific genes are finally being discovered for cancer. It starts with one specific location, and from there a cascade of knowledge could ensue. I really admire the different approach of trying to treat the source (the mutated gene), rather than treating a general area (radiation). A quote that I really agree with was "That’s why this unbiased, data-driven way of looking at a cancer is so important.”, I like it because the out of the box thinking will be more beneficial than trying to look at the same things over and over again to find different answers.
