Interesting article indeed as i notice also :
----------------------------------------"Researchers at University College, London have developed a way of finding unique markings " are these "markings" related with our research? or our crunching might help them?  |

So, if I am 1,91 with waist 38, I have higher probability to get severe prostate cancer than a man 1,65 with waist 36?

Unlike the vaccines we're familiar with, this potential vaccine would be given to patients who already have cancer, rather than those at risk of getting it. It basically works by shooting tiny 'darts' containing pieces of RNA extracted from the patient's cancer cells at the body's own immune system, convincing them to launch an all-out attack on any tumours they come across. By just changing the RNA inside those darts, the team can, in theory, mobilise the immune system against any kind of cancer. "[Such] vaccines are fast and inexpensive to produce, and virtually any tumour antigen can be encoded by RNA," the team, led by researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz in Germany, reports in Nature. "Thus, the nanoparticulate RNA immunotherapy approach introduced here may be regarded as a universally applicable novel vaccine class for cancer immunotherapy." |

I came upon this article a few days ago. I think, if you read the article, you will understand why projects such as MCM are so important.
Blood Cancer is Actually Made Up of 11 Subtypes Knowing the different subtypes could explain why patients respond differently to the same therapeutic treatment. "Two people may have what looks like the same leukemia down the microscope, but we find extensive differences between those leukemias at the genetic level. These genetic differences can explain so much of why one of those patients will be cured, while the other will not, despite receiving the exact same treatment,” explained Peter Campbell, co-study author. “We have shown that AML is an umbrella term for a group of at least 11 different types of leukemia. We can now start to decode these genetics to shape clinical trials and develop diagnostics." AML is "Acute Myeloid Leukemia". |

If at-risk women preemptively removing ovaries, they have an excellent shot of avoiding reproductive cancers. However, the lack of estrogen can lead to lifelong side effects.
