These three scientists found a simple idea of how to stop cancer cells from growing. After more work and elaboration by other scientists, new ways to fight cancer, and even a cure could become tangible. “The findings are significant for cancer research because cancer cells are kept alive by DNA repair mechanisms. Researchers are now looking at ways to destroy the repair mechanisms within the cancer cells to kill them, academy member Peter Brzezinski said.” I believe these three scientists deserve this prestigious award because of their hard work and effort. “Olaparib, which is used to fight ovarian cancer,” is similar to a lesser version of what scientists can create to fight cancer. They made this medicine before having the knowledge these three scientists have given us. This means that when they do make a medicine using this new information, it will probably many times more effective. Once they do make the medicine, millions of lives could be
