Fighting Cancer with Math

zoloback writes "A group of scientists have developed a mathematical method to fight certain forms of cancer. The study has taken the team several years, but the first trial on a human has been successful. You can read the actual paper. It looks like a huge advancement in science, because there's a possibility to extrapolate the method to other types of cancer" From the article: "The researchers have evidence to show that all tumors grow in the same way, irrespective of the tissue or species in which they develop. In a previous paper, these researchers reported that tumor growth, rather than being exponential as commonly believed, is a much slower "linear" process similar to the growth of certain crystals and other natural phenomena."

Well, let me use my "SUPAR E LEET" statistics to predict how much slashdotters post "is this news?" per article:

# of letters in a linked article / how big an elephant's penis is in CM = how much pricks will post "Is this really news" redundant-like comments.
