One of the sentence that Tom Peters has said that I like to quote him all the time is "Excellence comes from human beings doing things of value that customers find memorable. " How true......
All these years, scientists around the worlds are trying hard to find targeted therapy for cancer patients. Though seems targeted, but yet still caused some damage to non-cancerous cells, this is the current scenario.
The cancer patients suffered from trying these drugs and some drugs do not even marketable as they failed in clinical trials due to great adverse effects.
Perhaps this is the price we have to pay......
Just imagine...... cancer cells evolved from normal cells, even at the stem cell level...... And most of the markers discovered now, shared between normal and cancerous cells; for those that are not shared, eventually will be linked to certain pathways that are essential to the survival of cells from vital organs......
To be excellence in the journey of discovering targeted therapy in cancer, perhaps, would be when one or a group scientists says, "Please try on me, I want to prove that it is totally harmless to someone that does not have cancer like me"......
Never give up, it is the moment that worth waiting; never give up too early......
