Amazing new discoveries and research breakthroughs are often the focus when science is featured in the media. In truth, like a sprout growing to maturity, the real work of bringing science discoveries into clinical practice occurs in small increments over several years after a bold discovery is reported.

• SDH5 Gets a New Name, Also Found in More Cancer Types
• PAM50 Breast Cancer Intrinsic Classifier Prepares to Go Public
