His strategy is unusual among cancer researchers, who have tended to focus on identifying cancer-causing genes rather than writing differential equations to describe the rate of tumor spread.
I'm going to take a look at some of the regulatory rollbacks of the Bush administration, such as the one that lowers the limit of cancer-causing arsenic in drinking water.
The EPA last year issued the first-ever standards to control smog- and soot-forming gases from gas wells site, and updated existing rules to reduce cancer-causing pollution, such as benzene, from other equipment.
It turned out that the virus used to deliver the gene therapy was also inserting itself into cancer-causing areas of the genome, and not just where it was needed to cure the kids.
Two developed the disease because IL2RG inserted itself into the cellular genome next to a known cancer-causing gene and activated it, but the cause of the third cancer case had not been found.
If it were almost anything else, people would be out in the street just rioting, trying to get the government and public sector and private sector to get some other cancer-causing agent off the street.

These New Yorkers have seen other communities in neighboring states like Pennsylvania run over by an industry that promised them heaps of cash, but instead the communities report groundwater contamination, contaminated flow-back waste, road-ripping truck traffic and clouds of cancer-causing chemicals.
Just a few years ago researchers had naively hoped that they could design a drug to blast a single cancer-causing protein and send the disease into remission for years without forcing the patient to endure the side effects of prolonged toxic chemotherapy.
Opponents warn that fracking is an environmental disaster waiting to happen, citing, among other risks, air and water pollution, the release of radiation and cancer-causing substances, and the acceleration of global climate change as methane and other greenhouse gases escape during fracking.
There are others, but if we look at the one that is most pervasive and causes the largest number of disease in this country, lung cancer is rising and it's rising because we have not been able to get this cancer-causing agent off the street.
The chemical was banned after it was found to have potentially carcinogenic - or cancer causing - effects.
Sixteen of the men had untreated prostate cancer, they were in the so-called "watchful waiting" group - where the cancer is slow-growing and causing no symptoms.
There is no strong indicator that an STD causes prostate cancer, and researchers suspect that trichomonas is just one inflammation-causing factor that may contribute to the cancer or make it grow faster.
That is because one of Dr Yamanaka's transcription factors, c-Myc, sometimes has the unfortunate side-effect of causing cancer.
