For some reason the title "Carcinoma Angel" has been floating around in
my head. I think it would make a good name for a rock group or
something. In any case, I'm sure it's the title for an SF story I read,
but I can't remember where or what it is about. I think it might have
been by Harlan Ellison. Is this right? Does anyone know what it is
about?

A very good book by the way

It appeared in the first _Dangerous_Visions_ which may explain why you though of Ellison. -- ---- William J.

it was also in the Again, Dangerous Visions collection edited by Harlan
Ellison. it's once again in print in softcover (if it was ever out of
print). a highly reccommended two-volume series.

One usage of the name 'Carcinoma Angel(s)' that I have come across is for a very silly game on computers. You have parachuted down onto Carcinoma Island which is square, about 15x15, having a number of infinitely deep potholes, down which it is fatal to fall, and a number of Carcinoma Angels, who keep walking towards you. If a C.A. touches you, you die. The idea is to lure them all down the potholes. I.Gordon So Long And Thanks For All The Wallabies

Does anyone know what it is >about? Let me be the first of the 139 people who are going to answer this one. "The Carcinoma Angels" is a story by Norman Spinrad from his collection LAST HURRAH OF THE GOLDEN HORDE. It contains images of cancer cells riding through the characters body like motercycle riders.
