Doctors are people too

February 11, 2012 by Jennifer Derwey Leave a Comment

Doctors have discovered that the accepted origins of ovarian cancer have been wrong. From CTV,

MONTREAL — Ovarian cancer is one of the most feared diseases, as it hard to detect and often leads to death.  […]

But a research team at McGill appears to have made a breakthrough by learning that the cancer actual begins in the fallopian tubes.

“We were barking the wrong tree. The name we got wrong, we got the origin of ovarian cancer wrong. We got the test that we should be using for this wrong,” said Dr. Lucy Gilbert, the MUHC oncologist who lead the research.

This is good news for all women, and should remind us that medicine, like every other science, is an evolving field. What we believe to be the case today could look very different from what we believe in the future. That gives me hope for the practice of abortion.
