Greetings: welcome to Wikipedia.

I sincerely hope that PRTT turns out to be a promising line of research. However, at Wikipedia we have a policy of writing articles only using sources that are in the mainstream of the field in question, and it appears that PRTT, with its single Google hit, and the book you reference, with its single Google hit, are not yet sufficiently mainstream to conform to our policy. The best way to understand our policies on these things is to read the pages WP:NPOV, WP:NOT and WP:NOR -- the last of which, our policy prohibiting original research, seems most applicable here to the content, and the first, WP:NPOV, to the style. Our policy on verifiability also applies. Once the book is published and available in the mainstream press -- not a self-publisher -- then you also have a stronger case.

The cancer article, as re-written by you, becomes an editorial piece advocating the truth of a new theory. It can't be. It is an encyclopedia article, and as such must show a summation of current, accepted thought on the topic, as it is at the present time. Should that change, by the adoption of a new theory by the medical and scientific community, that is the time to change the article.

I sincerely hope this helps. Best regards, Antandrus (talk) 20:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
