Technological change and acceleration... especially AI and medicine.
Spanish Scientists Cured Pancreatic Cancer in Rats
The experiment involved treating the mice by combining three low-toxicity drugs.

Dr. Barbacid has made a number of high profile discoveries in medical science, with his National Cancer Research Centre in Spain.

Clinical trials will begin soon.
