"The more differences we can see between the genetics of the normal and cancer cell, the more tools we can use against the cancer", he says.〔http://www.oxfordtoday.ox.ac.uk/2007-08/v20n1/01.shtml〕 He undertook medical oncology training at the Department of Medical Oncology at the University of Glasgow where he worked with Professor S Kaye from April 1984 to February 1992.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Kerr (oncologist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
