Our gross national product, […] if we judge the United States of America by that — counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl.
Dreizehn solcher Tumorkonferenzen gibt es am UKD – zwölf davon spezialisiert auf einzelne Krebsarten, wie Brustkrebs, Hautkrebs oder Kopf-Hals-Tumoren, und eine weitere Konferenz für Patienten deren Krebserkrankung schwer zuzuordnen oder besonders kompliziert ist.

Over the past decade or so, the use of personal and big data has changed the way many businesses and governments operate. Regulators and legislative bodies have been struggling to keep up with the changes in technology, and increasing concerns about what it means for the privacy of individuals.
