Take a look at this article from the Associated Press:

* Immune therapies finally working against cancer *
So now who cares if radiation gives you cancer?  All you have to do is go to the nurse's office and get a shot!

From the article:
Now, doctors have overcome 30 years of false starts and found success with a way to fight cancer: using the body's natural defender, the immune system.

The approach is called a cancer vaccine, although it treats the disease rather than prevents it.

Experimental vaccines against four cancers — lymphoma, prostate, melanoma, and an often fatal childhood tumor called neuroblastoma — gave positive results in late-stage testing in recent weeks, after decades of struggles in the lab.


[P.S.  It's still a loooonng way from being perfected.]

Why not?  We could package it all up into one HP policy: at low doses radiation is good for you, at high doses you take two of these pills & call your doctor in the morning, and why yes I did try looking for work in the past week...   :P
