I wanted the algorithm to make all the features important to radiologists degrade at the same rate - both the edges of large tumors and the smallest calcium deposits. I tried several approaches and eventually got a balance that seemed reasonable, based on what radiologists tell me they want.

It's a slow and miserable way to die. These tumors grow as ulcerated masses and cause bleeding and infection.

Stephen Rubin

To be able to say which tumors are likely to progress and become problematic vs. those that are much more indolent or slow-growing would be very helpful in allowing a patient to make a very important decision: whether he wants active treatment or not.

Durado Brooks

The edges of tumors are where growth occurs, and they tell radiologists whether what they see is a tumor or not. You have to keep all these features intact when you compress the image if it is to be useful.

Bradley J. Lucier

The literature has suggested that marijuana smoking increases the risk of head and neck cancer and lung malignancies, and that these tumors tend to develop earlier and behave more aggressively in marijuana smokers.

Dr. Martha Terris

I think this is a new era of radiotherapy in that we're now seeing the tumors that we're actually treating and seeing them in real time.

Albert Koong

All of these patients, younger as well as older, whether they have tumors that have estrogen receptors or tumors that do not, they all show a benefit when you add chemotherapy.

Bernard Fisher

Measuring prognostic markers in breast cancer cells opens up possibilities for broad applications of this technology to tissue samples obtained from needle or surgical biopsies of patients with suspected breast cancers. Furthermore, it's possible this approach may also be applied to a broad range of other solid tumors, including colon, ovarian, prostate and gastric cancer, to name a few.

Dr. Rafael Nunez

In the South River we have not established a link between the tumors and PAH exposure.

Fred Pinkney

Nothing against senior citizens, but they tend to have more time on their hands and their schedules aren't as tight as people who've got to work. You might be curious about the tumors they want to tell you about, but you're probably in a hurry, too. You're there to work out, but you also want to be tactful.

Tumors need nutrition and blood. If you can target this vasculature, you can attack cancer.

Chandra Sehgal

This really helps to show the importance of screening. In addition to finding more small tumors, we're also finding less big tumors.

Debbie Saslow

The virus would hit this mutant cell and cause a second mutation, prompting the onset of cancers like leukemia or brain tumors.

Dr Richard Mcnally

Tumors that we used to call exactly the same thing and group them together and treat them the same way are actually very different. That really screws us up.

Ingegerd Hellstrom

Although GIST tumors are uncommon, this study is important because it shows that we can create drugs that specifically target the mechanisms of action of cancer, and can slow down its growth.

George Demetri

There are some people out there who may not feel comfortable with our decision. They would say 'Fight it, regardless of the outcome.' But there's no right answer here. Not all brain tumors are incurable. For the Moore family, this was the right decision.

Jesika Moore

We were simultaneously stopping the growth of new cancer cells and killing those already existing. This was most dramatic when we used the TPA/ATRA combination on the tumors.
