I have said on numerous occasions that I believe the semiconductor industry offers great hope in addressing the issue of cancer. To this end, I’d encourage you to read this article which discusses how researchers have now developed a new silicon computer chips that can filter out cancer cells according to their unique size.
Now, I don’t expect to such chips will be floating in your body anytime soon, but if you “jump the curve” it seems reasonable that by 2020 the technology (or a similarly related technology) will be making great strides in the battle against cancer.
