Article summary:

“By mounting comprehensive and systematic attacks on malignancies with emerging technologies such as low-cost genetic sequencing, artificial intelligence, and monoclonal antibody treatments, what we’ve discovered is that cancer cells are little pricks that think they’re the king of the fucking world,” lead author Dr. Charles Sepkowitz. I feel as if this is a valid summary of this article but it could use some expansion. Basically scientists are having difficulties with cancer cells in the sense that now we know exactly how they work and how they spread but we are unable to eradicate them because they metastasize so fast. In layman’s terms this means that using the blood stream and lymphatic vessels cancer spreads too quickly. Scientists say that myeloma cancer cells are even more difficult to treat because it seams to be completely resistant to the most commonly used drug Velcade.

My opinion on this article:
I think that this article was interesting to say the least. I have always been interested in medicine and I think that’s why I’m drawn to this article but the article itself was written in a slightly confusing way.  This article was about another article which I couldn’t find. But the information that I could get from the article was interesting.
