The part that jumped out at me was this: "for most solid tumors the time from founder mutation to clinically apparent metastasis is between 20 and 30 years" If cancer is really this ultimate chimearan opponent, why don't we put more emphasis on detecting it during the twenty years before it becomes dangerous? It would be difficult to detect changes at the cellular level at any location in the human body. But it sounds like a problem that will scale with "Big Data" a lot better than trying to fight evolution.
