This is a clear attack on morality. Just because it's a few cells doesn't mean that it is not life. Doctors clearly want to otherise these cells so that the whole world knows that they're different and therefore hate them. Those doctors should be locked up in jail for murder.

I had Jury duty last week. Thank God the trial I was called for didn't glow.

There's vag in the mini skirt thread. It glows too.

The brain that didn't die?

Patients will be given a drug, 5-amino-levulinic acid (5-ALA), which causes a build-up of fluorescent chemicals in the tumour cancer.

Ah yes! I am familiar with these!

Five stars. Highly recommended!

Carmustine wafer? It'll probably corrode your mouth.

Those would be a big hit at the local rave.

I heard there was a cancerous tumor that wanted a Hugo Chavez removed from it..

ba da bing, ba da boom

No, the "Blessed Communion Wafer" - aka blotter.

Everyone knows that once every thirty days or so, an otherwise normal brain cancer detaches from the cortex and floats around, causing mania, rage, and glowing red hands.

/it's waffr theen!

One of the side affects

Gyrfalcon: If I already had a brain tumor, I'm not sure I'd want it glowing around in my head, you know? I'd always have to be looking if the light was shining out my eyes yet...

I know, right? How would you get to sleep? You'd turn out the light and close your eyes and the light would still be on.

That was made clear during the testing phase.



/sorry, best glowy-eyed Sid pic I could find

Its weird that we can make it glow but not kill it.

Sometimes tumors can "glow" naturally by just being a completely different color from everything else. When I had surgery for a brain tumor a little over 6 years ago now, the surgeon said (joked?) that the tumor was easy to get out because the line was color-coded. If this "glow" technology works very well, it'll help surgeons find exactly where to cut. For many people killing cancer isn't as much of a deal of "killing a tumor" as much as it is "making sure ALL of the tumor is killed." As long as there are cells left in there, there's a good chance it's just going to regrow.

Cancer research has been showing interesting things very recently, mostly involving genetic research, including using genetic research to kill cancer lately. For example, in June, researchers at Mayo Clinic were able to completely eradicate prostate cancer in rats by injecting healthy genetic material (not semen you sicko) into them.

I'm personally optimistic about cancer research.

And then it left just as quickly, for no raisin.
