	the statistical effects of radiation don't mean much
	to the individual who does have a cancer cured by radiation.
	i don't think we'll be 'doing away with' radiation therapy
	by the turn of the century.  is anyone seriously expecting an
	'anti-cancer' vaccine?

	early detection seems to be the key in fighting cancer.

	i believe that advances in NMR and parallel processing
	computers will combine to enable *very* early detection.
	specifically:  parallel approaches to interpreting NMR data
	which include time domain data as well as 3D data.

	does anyone know of any research in this area?
