Stop Breast Cancer Now! Imagining Imaging Pathways Toward Search, Destroy, Cure, and Watchful Waiting of Premetastasis Breast Cancer

摘要: Tibor Tot has given me an unusual opportunity via his request to summarize my work in computed tomography (CT), which indeed since 1977 been directed toward eliminating the scourge of breast cancer search and destroy premetastasis tumors, instead predominant, century-old magic bullet approach (Strebhardt Ullrich 2008). I have had strange career a theoretical biologist (Fig. 10.1) on continent where biology as paid discipline died with James F. Danielli, discoverer bilayer structure cell membrane, once Director Center for Theoretical Biology at State University New York Buffalo founding editor Journal (JTB) (Danielli 1961; Rosen 1985; Stein 1986). Danielli became part story, will tell spirit wonderful biography Louis Pasteur written by lifetime laboratory assistant (Duclaux 1920). Lacking such long-term companion train thought, this shall be unabashedly autobiographical, all risks attendant that form literature. try honest you, reader, true myself. If we consider vast gossamer activity science, CT particular, own path is but one thread through web, know best. Nevertheless, when use “I,” please take it shorthand “I cited collaborators” appropriate. My world line crossed many others, who enriched journey, made possible. This includes George Gamow, Mr. World Line himself (Gamow 1970), both us sitting meteorology course Boulder, Colorado about 1968, later son Igor Woods Hole Boulder regarding trying model growth Phycomyces (Ortega et al. 1974).
