Breast Cancer Breakthrough
Breast Cancer Breakthrough
by RS Davis The Freedom Files  Hello Freedomphiles! October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (as well as National Pickle Peppers Month, National Book Fair Month, Country Music Month, National Popcorn Poppin Month, National Toilet Tank Repair Month, Vegetarian Awareness Month, and ironically also National Pork Month - our legislators have way too much time on their hands), and sadly, number twelve on my list of the hottest women in television history, Christina Applegate, recently had to undergo a double mastectomy to remove tumors in her breasts. But if Jaydev Desai has his way, that kind of drastic measure will be a thing of the past. You see, he has spent the last year and a half working on a very special kind of robot. Made of titanium and stainless steel, it can work inside an MRI without disrupting the machine's electromagnetic field. When the MRI discovers a breast tumor, the robot will perform a biopsy while the patient is still in the scanner. If it discovers the tumor is malignant, it will then insert a probe into the breast and burn the cancerous cells until they are gone. One stop shopping for the diseased woman on the go. As it is now, there is usually a three month wait between the mammogram and treatment, allowing cancerous cells to grow and spread. With this robot, which can access parts of the body that even a surgeon cannot, they will be eradicated at the point of diagnosis. This robot will "revolutionize how procedures are performed for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment," according to its maker. If it were a perfect market, this thing would be out there within months, but as I've mentioned before, the excruciatingly slow process of FDA approval guarantees that more people will die or have their breasts removed waiting for this lifesaving procedure to come to market. "We're not just governed by technology," said Desai's partner, Rao Gullapalli. "We're governed by bureaucracy as well." Indeed.
