Take a look at this article from the Associated Press:
* Immune therapies finally working against cancer * (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090531/ap_on_he_me/us_med_cancer_vaccines_3)
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
