I just assumed that CC fell into the category of "gastric cancer". Maybe not though. I read this article too. Hopefully now that the loss of productivity caused to our economy by this disease has been spelled out in black and white, there will be more incentive from industry to find a cure/cures....It hit really close to home when I thought about all the time I have wasted in my life sitting in doctors offices WAITING, esp. at MD Anderson where getting tests is a multiple day EVENT. Lol. I guess we have all been there and can relate to this.
