The amount of information Watson can process is incredible and would be much more efficient than a single human brain. Yes, a human can make judgments better, but Watson combined with a human would, in theory, lead to tremendous results

This is incredible! It is amazing that Watson can be used to diagnose cancer. With all of the data that Watson has compiled, I should have expected something like this to happen.

With the various ways in which technology has aided us in the past and present, I think the use of "Watson" for cancer data would be extremely useful in the medical field. Hopefully Watson would help cure, prevent, or stabilize cancer more proficiently.

It's really amazing how far technology has come in such a short period of time. If Watson can successfully process information and apply it in ways humans haven't been able to, the medical field will benefit greatly.

I think this is a huge step in the ongoing fight against cancer. Humans have been trying for decades to beat this horrible disease and a mega-database such as this can only help.
