The article "Cancer Center Plans For Cures" from CBS news radio is about medical experts how says that they have found a way to reduce deaths from eight different kinds of cancer. The President of the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston said that the program is set to launch in February of 2013. The program aims to hurry along the prevention and treatment efforts, It is considered by the hospital as its largest initiative to eliminate eight forms of cancer. Six teams were chosen to tackle the eight cancers.
Each team has specific goals, ranging from basic research to clinical trials that test treatments, biomarkers and diagnostics.The teams will focus on personalizing treatment according to an individual’s tumor genes. “In this moon shot effort, we’re fashioning our programs in a way that
enables us to ensure these discoveries make an impact,” said DePinho, MD Anderson Cancer Center president. The cancers that the program intends to target include acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, melanoma, lung cancer, prostate cancer, triple-negative breast and ovarian cancers. I think that the fact that they have gone off the planet earth to find a treatment for cancer is saying how dangerous and deadly cancer is but experts are tiring everything in there power to end if not prevent cancer. I also think people are tired of love ones dieing of such a horrible disease and if there is a possible way to prevent it i think society should be open to it.

There's a lot of good in this post, but sometimes your words are too similar to the words used in the article. Make sure that if you use words from the article, those words are put in quotation marks. Also, what did you mean by "going off of planet Earth"? 80
