This study doesn't tell you much, really. Income isn't all you need to look at. You need to consider the other risk factors and how proactive the people are. More lower income people tend to smoke. You also need to consider alcohol consumption, obesity, exercise, family history etc. I hate these studies....


We can't cure cancer because we just don't have the knowledge/technology. Molecular biology is in its infancy. The knowledge base in molecular biology doubles every 18 months (just like Moore's Law in CPU's). That is astounding. Not only do we have a lot to learn, but we have to learn to APPLY it. G
