NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer Launched
Chad Cooper writes "On September 13, 2004 the National Cancer Institute (NCI) launched the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer an integrated $144.3 million, five-year initiative to develop and apply nanotechnology to cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment. The Alliance will encompass researchers, clinicians, and public and private organizations that have joined forces to translate cancer-related nanotechnology research into clinical practice. Nanotechnology has already demonstrated promising results in cancer research and treatment. This initiative builds on the scientific advances in genomics and proteomics and our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of cancer by facilitating cross-disciplinary and cross-sector collaboration with nanotechnology, which is ripe for biomedical application. http://nano.cancer.gov/nano_highlights_alliance-la unch.asp"

Please hurry…
As a relatively young cancer "participant", I can only hope that the pursuit of MNT focuses on the medical and other peaceful uses that will present themselves over the next few years. With some dedication and luck, maybe it will make the difference.

Re:Please hurry…
Though we are in a hurry on learning to have solutions for malignancy, it is much time consuming to conclude that the guided molecular self-assembly may provide assistance in repairing the damaged molecules of the cells in vivo, where as the damaged-molecules themselves may be due the defective and non-counteracted self-assembly of the molecules of the cells in vivo, by the altered environmental guidance.
