      This is a fairly long, interesting, detailed article reviewing all the recent developments in targeted cancer treatment with some comments on future directions.  Our malig mel is in the Big Tent with all its cancer sibs where research findings in one type of cancer apply to other types also. The author discusses the mutation processes that occur in a cell becoming cancerous, how the cancer cell creates its survival environment, cell vulnerabilities, the 10 hallmarks of cancer and much more.  It's technical but well within layman speak, I think.  Hope you find this helpful.  A.L.
