Jason,

Couldn’t that be true of any medical problem? Further, radiation’s a rapidly evolving field and still very medically relevant (see, for example, the relatively new treatment option MammoSite, its analogues in liver cancer and other peritoneal cancers, shrinkage of prostate tumors with radiation, and palliative radiation for metastatic bone disease).

If you truly believe that radiation will be obsolete any time in the next decade or two, then clearly you have not done any cancer research or are at all familiar with current therapeutic techniques. Like mmmcdowe already mentioned, cancer’s not going anywhere. Nice try though.
