These

enhanced prospects for cancer care persuade me that the nation has invested

wisely in the science of cancer. While we have succeeded in curing or

controlling only a few advanced cancers, there is reason to believe that a new

era of gene-based approaches to many cancers is at hand — especially if

we have the political will to maintain the investment.

Harold

Varmus, the president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer

Center, was the director of the

National Institutes of Health during the Clinton

administration and shared a Nobel prize for studies of cancer genes.
