As a child, did you like reading science fiction or watching Star Trek? If so, this issue is really a treat for you! Robots the size of small VW bugs in the operating room assisting urologists in removing a prostate. Wireless endoscopy capsules, the size of large vitamin pills, touring through the small intestine, filming a scene straight out of Fantastic Voyage. Preimplantation genetic testing on one cell from an embryo. Molecular-targeted therapies for cancer.
