Wow, thanks for this info. This would be an incredible breakthrough. I can't wait for my lab to get access to the data on the testing!

The article is great, but it is a bit inaccurate. If I am correct, Ian Frazier just developed a vaccine for the Human Papilloma virus, which is the leading cause of cervical cancer. He did not develop the cure for cervical cancer itself.

Oh, this is great news. I wasn't aware there was even a cure for cervical cancer. I mean, I have heard of the vaccine but there is still no absolute cure for the disease if it is caught too late.
