In the news

Have you heard about the cancer vaccine? Apparently, Merck has a vaccine for the leading cause of cervical cancer. From the article: "The company said the drug, Gardasil, blocks infection from strains of the human papilloma virus that cause 70% of cervical cancers."

It reminded me of a bit of older news: apparently, left-handed women have a higher risk of breast cancer. From the article: "A Dutch team found left-handed women were more than twice as likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer as non-left handed women."
