[ RadSafe ] Cancer Cultures

[JPreisig at aol.com]

Dear Radsafe,
 
     Hey all.   There's a news item by  Marilynn Marchione (AP) in 
yesterday's Trentonian (Trenton, NJ,
USA) about doctors/scientists taking cancer biopsy samples and growing them 
 (for long times)
in Petri dishes or other lab dishes.  They then try out various  
compounds/chemicals to treat the
cancer cells to kill them.  Designer cancer treatment, I guess.   You can 
read the article, possibly on the
internet.
 
    Have a good weekend...    Joseph R. (Joe)  Preisig, PhD
