And that's what most cancer plans as well as the National Cancer Institute follows to make sure that, you know, one of the, you know, it's very, sometimes celebrities bring a lot of attention to one aspect of prevention and detection and they become the, the highlight of the whole work, um, but we want to make sure that all the entire spectrum is addressed.
