Controlling cancer within a generation?
Whatever your views the protests tomorrow against the Government's funding cuts and hike in tuition fees, one thing is still clear. The University of Birmingham's School of Cancer Studies is home to world-renown research.
Thus when Professor Paul Moss, current Head of the School, says he is optimistic about cancer being controlled within a generation, we should take note. "When I lecture my medical students today," he says, "I challenge them to think that they can be the first generation to be largely free of the fear of cancer."
Don't take my word for it! Listen to what he says -- or read his essay in The New Optimists.
