Hello all,

I was paging through my alumni magazine and a brief article about mucositis caught my eye. It seems that Dr. Cohen at the University of Chicago (my brother's oncologist) is working with scientists at the Argonne National Lab to try to predict which patients might have mucositis. They are in the midst of a two-year trial.
