Society Newsstand. Recent cancer-related news items. Each report
is a paraphrasing of a selected, hot cancer news article from the scientific
literature and so can be very useful for people with minimal scientific
background. The ACS newsstand goes a long way toward making cancer news
accessible to the general public. Research papers are "translated"
into everyday language. The newsstand also includes ACS press releases
and official responses to cancer research news. Some examples of recent
reports include:
- Mutation discovered
that causes colorectal cancer: test developed to detect it. (2 Sep
97)
