		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month I returned the copy-edited manuscript to the publisher, and finally the book is starting to feel real. Now officially called The Cancer Chronicles: Unlocking Medicine&#8217;s Deepest Mystery, it will be published in August. There is a page for the book now at Knopf/Random House and on Amazon. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week as I was making the final tweaks to The Cancer Chronicles before the manuscript goes into the copyediting stage, my eyes were drawn to a new study, widely reported in the press, about multivitamins and cancer. According to a double-blind, randomized controlled trial &#8212; the state of the art in epidemiology &#8212; taking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the annual meetings of the American Association for Cancer Research, what you notice right away is how every PowerPoint presentation begins with an obligatory conflict-of-interest disclosure slide. Many university researchers, including Nobel prizewinners, consult for pharmaceutical corporations and some even have their own startups. If they can develop a new targeted cancer treatment that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently in the New York Times, Carl Zimmer wrote about a new study concluding that misconduct is the primary reason for the growing number of retractions in scientific journals. That included plagiarism and other bad behavior, but fraud was suspected about 43 percent of the time. This is hardly ever like fraud in the financial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was confused this weekend when I read that the Cancer Genome Atlas Project, which has been precisely mapping the mutations in tumors, had found that breast cancer can be divided into four types. That seemed like an old story. Paul Raeburn at the Knight Science Journalism Tracker was also puzzled as he watched the meme spread through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In chapter 9 of The Cancer Chronicles (or whatever it is called when it appears next spring), I write about how very complex cell biology has become since the revelations of Watson and Crick. I first touched on this (and how it affects our understanding of cancer) in a long piece last year for the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week I am putting the finishing touches on my manuscript. The complete title as it now stands, perhaps a little wobbly, is The Cancer Chronicles A Journey Through the Science of an Ancient Medical Mystery But that is still in flux. Are there too many syllables in the subtitle? Snappier, perhaps, would be “Exploring [...]]]></description>

At this point I am revising and refining &#8212; sending the manuscript to friends, colleagues, and scientists.
