1971年美国总统尼克松批准国家癌症法案修正案，发起“对癌症的战争”。截止到现在正好40年，，美国科学杂志《science》在这一期出了一版“抗癌40年”的特刊。

[color=Red]National Cancer Act of 1971[/color]

   In 1970, the American people made clear their desire for a cure for the second-leading cause of death in the United States. President Nixon responded during his January 1971 State of the Union address: "I will also ask for an appropriation of an extra $100 million to launch an intensive campaign to find a cure for cancer, and I will ask later for whatever additional funds can effectively be used. The time has come in America when the same kind of concentrated effort that split the atom and took man to the moon should be turned toward conquering this dread disease. Let us make a total national commitment to achieve this goal."
   As part of this national effort, in October 1971, the Army's Fort Detrick, Maryland, biological warfare facility was converted to a cancer research center, eventually becoming the Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center, an internationally recognized center for cancer and AIDS research.
   On December 23, 1971, President Nixon followed through on his promise as he signed the National Cancer Act into law, declaring, "I hope in the years ahead we will look back on this action today as the most significant action taken during my Administration."1
The National Cancer Act (P.L. 92–218), "The War on Cancer," gave the NCI unique autonomy at NIH with special budgetary authority. （给了NIH预算优先权）The Cancer Chemotherapy National Service Center (CCNSC) increased its efforts to acquire new compounds for testing with the awarding of an acquisition and inventory contract responsible for the collection and documentation of test agents.

感到奇怪的一点是，这个有关肿瘤40年研究专刊中，这么多的paper，怎么没有一篇以肿瘤干细胞为标题的paper。

相信“对癌战争”未来十年中iPS将大放异彩。
