It is indeed a very exciting and important discovery. Hope the torch of hope will spread and more work carried out from this spark of discovery.

This type of work is indeed the true spirit of the medical profession. I applaud the researchers and hope their continuing success.

This also shows how subtle the changes are between normal tissue and cancerous tissue, and what a fine line there is between health and disease. Who could have imagined that science could distinguish between the two as recently as 20 years ago? Good news, indeed.
