Update for the New Millenium

Since our last update of 2005 we have been observing the field of cancer research and development closely. However, our keen and close observation has not revealed any significant development worth mentioning. Our understanding in this regard is also confirmed by a report on Human Genome Project published in the 20th March 2007 issue of "Newsweek". The report termed the project as a resource sucker in the days of budget carnage. For the benefit of the viewers, the crux of the report titled "This is no way to cure cancer", is reproduced verbatim in the succeeding paragraph:

"From a clinical and drug perspective, the cancer-genome project is so shallow it's worthless," says George Gabor Miklos, who has served as a consultant on genome projects, the holy grails of biology for a decade. NIH, he says, has "made an enormous mistake that will cost the taxpayer billions." Scientists from top institutions including the Mayo Clinic, the University of Chicago and Harvard Medical School are weighing in to denounce the project as "high-cost, low-efficiency," "not informative" and "naive."

Meanwhile our experts have taken stock of the happenings in the new millennium and have come out with two excellent pieces of work viz.

• Cancer and Environment which  not only disproves the role of Environment on process of canceration but also depicts the hollowness of "Gene Theory" . This article by Dr. Sthabir Dasgupta will indeed provide an insight to our viewers on the subject in depth. Click here to download the full article.

• An Update on the Cancer for the New Millennium by Dr Lopa Mehta and Dr. Manu Kothari in addition to being an update of cancer in the new millennium, brilliantly suggests the common man how to deal with the cancer simply and gracefully in the gizmos of cancer treatment in the new decade.
