My hope is that people will be able to find this a very brief, understandable way to explain big ideas about cancer. This format also has the advantage of being easily sharable and can be viewed easily on many platforms, including mobile devices.  If people like the format, I'll try to present more posts in this way.  I hope you'll provide feedback.
