A Computer Program for Tracking Cancer Development and Movement

We would like to thank Jim Mims, our teacher, for all of his time and effort. Before this project, it would have been hard to handle such a large program and project. Now, with his help, we can do many of these actions with much greater speed and effectiveness. He has also taught us many ways in which one must approach these sorts of problems that has been helpful here and elsewhere.

We would also like to extend our thanks to our mentor, Gene Wong, M.D. His invaluable time gave us the information we needed to write the program and do the project. Most of the sources we had only gave the basics and were intended for patients and their families. Dr. Wong's information, though, gave us what we needed to understand what is actually going on, an essential trait for this project.
