If this test would work in practise thousands of lives could be saved every year even with a minor increase in patient survival rate. Instead of making a statistically based guess whether a tumor would have a chance to return or not it could be confirmed through a genetic test. Genetic research is coming up with revolutionairy discoveries which will increase public health greatly.

Have your say

Like many others I'm a slave to modern society dominated by mass media, I can be hooked on the latest series for months without missing a single episode or simply having to see a certain movie.

And if you thought music wouldn't be included there, you're dead wrong! Practically non stop I listen to music from various artists, I just can't stand the silence anymore.
