I'm somewhat encouraged by the way that cervical cancer has been approached as a model of prevention. We've seen huge declines in death rates because of effective screening and management, and hopefully the HPV vaccine will push this even lower.

I'm also hopeful for the results of the whole-genome analysis of cancers that are going on right now. Hopefully we'll have some better ideas of the factors that might predispose you to a given tumor, and can find ways to manage the risk and catch this earlier.
