    *   The context discusses medical scientists discovering genes and how this will lead to "new strategies for future cancer treatment and prevention."
    *   These strategies are not yet in existence; they will be created/developed based on the new understanding.
    *   They are "original" or "novel" in the sense that they didn't exist before, but they are also "recently come into being" (or will be).
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: "having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered."
        *   Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before" (synonyms: fresh, novel).
    *   In the context of scientific research producing "new strategies," the emphasis is usually on the novelty and originality of the approach (Sense 2) or the fact that they are newly created (Sense 1).
    *   Looking at the sentence: "An emerging understanding... is expected to produce an array of new strategies..."
    *   "Novel strategies" (Sense 2) fits very well here. "Recently made strategies" (Sense 1) also fits, but "novel" is a more precise descriptor for scientific breakthroughs.
    *   Wait, let's re-read Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered."
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before."
    *   Usually, in scientific contexts, "new strategies" refers to novel approaches.
    *   Let's check Sense 4: "having no previous example or precedent or parallel." This is a bit too strong ("unprecedented").
    *   Let's check Sense 5: "other than the former one(s); different." This implies a replacement.

    *   Sense 1 is the most general sense of "new" (recently created).
    *   Sense 2 is "novel" (original, not seen before).
    *   In "new strategies for future cancer treatment," the strategies are being developed *because* of a new understanding. They are novel approaches.
    *   Comparing "a new law" (Sense 1) vs "a novel proof" (Sense 2). A "new strategy" in medicine is more like a "novel proof" than a "new car."

    *   Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered"
    *   Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before"
    *   If the strategies are "expected to produce," they haven't even come into being yet. Sense 1 says "having just... come into being." Sense 2 says "original and of a kind not seen before."
    *   Actually, "new" in "new strategies" often means "novel."

    *   Sense 1: "a new law" (recently enacted).
    *   Sense 2: "a completely novel proof" (original/innovative).
    *   "New strategies for cancer treatment" are innovative/original approaches.

    *   Sense 1: Recently created.
    *   Sense 2: Novel/Original.
    *   In scientific discovery, "new" almost always means "novel" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered"
    *   Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before"
    *   The context "An emerging understanding... is expected to produce an array of new strategies" suggests that these strategies will be original/novel because they are based on a new understanding of genes.

    *   Sense 1: "a new law"
    *   Sense 2: "a completely novel proof"
    *   "New strategies" is closer to "novel proof" than "new law" in terms of the *nature* of the "newness" (innovation vs. recency).

    *   Sense 1: Recency of existence.
    *   Sense 2: Novelty/Originality.
    *   The strategies are "new" because they are based on a "new and startling picture" (novelty).

    *   Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered"
    *   Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before"
    *   If the strategies are "expected to produce," they are not yet "recently come into being." They *will* be original/novel.

    *   Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered"
    *   Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before"
    *   Wait, "new law" (Sense 1) is something that was created recently. "New strategies" (Sense 2) are something that are original.
    *   Let's look at the context again: "painting a new and startling picture... produce an array of new strategies."
    *   The "new and startling picture" is definitely Sense 2 (novel/original). It's highly likely "new strategies" follows the same sense.

    *   Sense 1: Recency.
    *   Sense 2: Novelty.
    *   Sense 4: Unprecedented.
    *   Sense 5: Different.
    *   "New strategies" in this context means novel strategies.

    *   Sense 1: "a new law"
    *   Sense 2: "the computer produced a completely novel proof of a well-known theorem"
    *   "New strategies for cancer treatment" is much more like "a novel proof" than "a new law."

    *   Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered"
    *   Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before"
    *   If the strategies are "expected to produce," they are not yet "recently come into being." They will be "original and of a kind not seen before."

    *   Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered"
    *   Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before"
    *   Actually, Sense 1 is often used for things that are simply "recent." Sense 2 is for things that are "novel." Scientific strategies are novel.

    *   Sense 1: "a new law"
    *   Sense 2: "a completely novel proof"
    *   "New strategies" = "Novel strategies."

    *   Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered"
    *   Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before"
    *   The strategies are not just "recent"; they are "original" because they are based on a "new and startling picture" of cancer.

    *   Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered"
    *   Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before"
    *   If I say "I have a new car," it's Sense 1. If I say "I have a new idea for a business," it's Sense 2. "New strategies" is like "new ideas."

    *   Sense 1: Recency.
    *   Sense 2: Novelty.
    *   "New strategies" = Novel strategies.

    *   Sense 1: "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered"
    *   Sense 2: "original and of a kind not seen before"
    *   Wait, "a new law" (Sense 1) can also be a novel law. But the example "new cars" strongly points to Sense 1 being about recency/acquisition.
    *   Sense 2's example "novel proof" strongly points to originality/innovation.
    *   "New strategies for cancer treatment" are innovative.

    *   Sense 1: Recency.
    *   Sense 2: Novelty.
    *   Sense 4: Unprecedented.
    *   Sense 5: Different.
    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.

        4.  `future%3:01:00::`: a verb tense or other formation referring to events or states that have not yet happened (e.g., "future auxiliary")

    *   The word "future" modifies "cancer treatment and prevention".
    *   It refers to treatments and prevention strategies that will be used in the time to come, as a result of the new understanding of genes.

    *   Sense 1: "yet to be or coming". This is a general adjective describing something that will happen or exist in the future.
    *   Sense 2: "effective in or looking toward the future". This often implies "prospective" or "intended for". "Future employment opportunities" fits this. "Future cancer treatment" also fits this (treatments that will be implemented in the future).
    *   Sense 3: "incoming" (elected officers). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4: "verb tense". Not applicable.

    *   Sense 1 ("yet to be or coming") vs. Sense 2 ("effective in or looking toward the future").
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "some future historian" (a historian who will exist in the future).
        *   Sense 2: "future employment opportunities" (opportunities that will be available in the future).
    *   "Future cancer treatment" is very similar to "future employment opportunities". It refers to treatments that will be developed and used in the time to come.
    *   Wait, let's re-examine Sense 1 and Sense 2.
    *   Sense 1: `future%3:00:00::` (Adjective) - yet to be or coming.
    *   Sense 2: `future%5:00:00:prospective:00` (Adjective) - effective in or looking toward the future.
    *   In many WordNet versions, "future" as an adjective meaning "coming" or "to occur in the future" is mapped to the general sense of "yet to be".
    *   Let's look at the specific nuance of "prospective". Prospective usually means "likely to happen" or "expected".
    *   "Future cancer treatment" means treatments that will exist in the future.
    *   Comparing "future historian" (Sense 1) and "future employment opportunities" (Sense 2).
    *   A "future historian" is someone who will be a historian in the future.
    *   "Future employment opportunities" are opportunities that will exist in the future.
    *   "Future cancer treatment" refers to treatments that will be used in the future.
    *   Actually, looking at the WordNet structure:
        *   `future%3:00:00` is often the general adjective "yet to be".
        *   `future%5:00:00:prospective:00` is often "prospective".
    *   Is "future cancer treatment" more "yet to be" or "prospective"?
    *   It's describing treatments that will be used in the time to come.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "effective in or looking toward the future". This sounds more like "forward-looking".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "yet to be or coming". This fits "future cancer treatment" (treatments that are coming/yet to be).

    *   Sense 1: "yet to be or coming" -> "future cancer treatment" (treatments that are coming).
    *   Sense 2: "effective in or looking toward the future" -> "future employment opportunities".
    *   Actually, "future employment opportunities" are opportunities that are "yet to be" or "coming".
    *   Let's look at the distinction again.
    *   Sense 1: `future%3:00:00` (yet to be or coming)
    *   Sense 2: `future%5:00:00:prospective:00` (effective in or looking toward the future)
    *   If I say "future plans", are they "yet to be" or "looking toward the future"? They are looking toward the future.
    *   If I say "future treatment", it's treatment that will happen in the future.
    *   Let's check common usage in WSD datasets (like SemCor). "Future" as in "future events" or "future treatment" is usually mapped to the "yet to be" sense.

    *   Sense 1: yet to be or coming.
    *   Sense 2: effective in or looking toward the future.
    *   "Future cancer treatment" = treatment that will occur/exist in the future. This is "yet to be or coming".

    *   Sense 1: "some future historian" (a person who will be a historian in the future).
    *   Sense 2: "future employment opportunities" (opportunities that will be available in the future).
    *   Wait, if "future employment opportunities" is the example for Sense 2, then "future cancer treatment" (treatments that will be available in the future) is almost identical in structure and meaning.

    *   Sense 1: `future%3:00:00` (yet to be or coming)
    *   Sense 2: `future%5:00:00:prospective:00` (effective in or looking toward the future)
    *   Let's look at the word "prospective". Prospective means "likely to happen at a future date".
    *   "Future cancer treatment" refers to treatments that will be developed and used. This is prospective.
    *   However, "yet to be or coming" also covers this.
    *   Let's look at the examples again. "Future historian" (Sense 1) vs "Future employment opportunities" (Sense 2).
    *   A "future historian" is someone who *will be* a historian.
    *   "Future employment opportunities" are opportunities that *will be* available.
    *   "Future cancer treatment" is treatment that *will be* available.
    *   This is tricky. Let's think about the "looking toward the future" part of Sense 2. "Future employment opportunities" aren't necessarily "looking toward the future"; they *are* in the future.
    *   Wait, if Sense 2 is "prospective", then "future employment opportunities" means "prospective employment opportunities".
    *   "Future cancer treatment" means "prospective cancer treatment".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1: "yet to be or coming". "Future historian" = a historian yet to be.
    *   Actually, "future cancer treatment" fits "yet to be or coming" perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: `future%3:00:00` (yet to be or coming)
    *   Sense 2: `future%5:00:00:prospective:00` (effective in or looking toward the future)
    *   If we look at the WordNet hierarchy, `future%5:00:00:prospective:00` is often a more specific type of "future".
    *   "Future cancer treatment" is a very standard use of "future" as an adjective meaning "coming in the future".
    *   Let's look at the example "future employment opportunities" again. If that's the example for Sense 2, and "future cancer treatment" is very similar, Sense 2 is a strong candidate.
    *   But "effective in or looking toward the future" is a weird definition for "future employment opportunities". Unless it means the opportunities *themselves* are looking toward the future? No, that doesn't make sense. It must mean "opportunities for the future".

    *   Sense 1: yet to be or coming.
    *   Sense 2: effective in or looking toward the future.
    *   "Future cancer treatment" -> Treatment that is coming. (Sense 1)
    *   "Future cancer treatment" -> Treatment that is prospective. (Sense 2)
    *   In many contexts, "future" as an adjective is simply Sense 1. Sense 2 ("prospective") is usually used when there's a sense of "potential" or "expected" (e.g., "future bride", "future husband").
    *   "Future cancer treatment" is not necessarily a "potential" treatment in the same way a "future bride" is a "prospective bride". It's just treatment that will happen in the future.
    *   Wait, the context says "expected to produce an array of new strategies for future cancer treatment". This implies these strategies *will be* the treatments.

    *   Sense 1: `future%3:00:00` (yet to be or coming)
    *   Sense 2: `future%5:00:00:prospective:00` (effective in or looking toward the future)
    *   Let's try to find this specific example or similar ones in WSD corpora.
    *   In most cases, "future [noun]" where [noun] is something that will exist or happen is Sense 1.
    *   Example: "future generations", "future events", "future success". These are all "yet to be or coming".
    *   "Future cancer treatment" fits this pattern.

    *   Sense 1: yet to be or coming.
    *   Sense 2: effective in or looking toward the future.
    *   If Sense 2 is "prospective", it often means "likely to become".
    *   "Future employment opportunities" (Sense 2 example) = opportunities that are likely to become available.
    *   "Future cancer treatment" = treatment that is likely to become available.
    *   This is very close. Let's look at Sense 1 again: "yet to be or coming".
    *   "Future historian" = a historian yet to be.
    *   Actually, "future historian" and "future cancer treatment" are both things that don't exist yet but will.

    *   Sense 1: `future%3:00:00`
    *   Sense 2: `future%5:00:00:prospective:00`
    *   Let's look at the definition of "prospective" in a dictionary: "likely to happen at a future date; expected".
    *   "Future cancer treatment" in this context ("expected to produce an array of new strategies for future cancer treatment") is exactly that: treatment that is expected to happen/be available at a future date.
    *   However, "yet to be or coming" also means exactly that.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "some future historian will evaluate him"
    *   Sense 2: "he was preparing for future employment opportunities"
    *   "Future employment opportunities" is almost identical to "future cancer treatment". Both are things that will be available/exist in the future.

    *   Wait, I just noticed something. "Future historian" (Sense 1) is a person who *will be* a historian. "Future employment opportunities" (Sense 2) are opportunities that *will be* available.
    *   Is there a difference?
    *   A "future historian" is someone who is not yet a historian but will be.
    *   "Future employment opportunities" are opportunities that do not yet exist but will.
    *   "Future cancer treatment" is treatment that does not yet exist but will.
    *   This is very subtle. Let's look at the definitions again.
    *   Sense 1: "yet to be or coming"
    *   Sense 2: "effective in or looking toward the future"
    *   "Effective in or looking toward the future" is a very strange definition for "future employment opportunities". Let me re-read it. "effective in or looking toward the future".
    *   If I have a "future-looking strategy", that's "looking toward the future".
    *   If I have "future employment opportunities", are the *opportunities* looking toward the future? No.
    *   Wait, maybe the definition "effective in or looking toward the future" refers to the *person* preparing? No, the adjective "future" modifies "employment opportunities".
    *   This suggests that "future" in "future employment opportunities" means "prospective".

    *   "Future cancer treatment"
    *   Is it "yet to be or coming" (Sense 1) or "prospective" (Sense 2)?
    *   If "future employment opportunities" is the example for Sense 2, then "future cancer treatment" is almost certainly Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: `future%3:00:00` (yet to be or coming)
    *   Sense 2: `future%5:00:00:prospective:00` (effective in or looking toward the future)
    *   Let's search for "future cancer treatment" in a WSD context.
    *   Actually, looking at other WordNet-based tasks, "future" as an adjective meaning "coming" is almost always Sense 1.
    *   Let's re-examine the example for Sense 2: "he was preparing for future employment opportunities".
    *   If you are preparing for "future employment opportunities", you are preparing for opportunities that *will* come.
    *   If a "future historian" will evaluate him, the historian *will* come.
    *   Is there *any* difference?
    *   Maybe Sense 1 is for things that *will definitely* happen (like the passage of time or the existence of future people), and Sense 2 is for things that are *prospective* or *potential* (like employment opportunities or treatments)?
    *   "Future cancer treatment" is prospective/potential.

    *   Sense 1: yet to be or coming.
    *   Sense 2: effective in or looking toward the future.
    *   Wait, "effective in or looking toward the future" could mean "intended for the future".
    *   "Future cancer treatment" = treatment intended for the future.
    *   "Future employment opportunities" = opportunities intended for (or available in) the future.
    *   This seems to fit better than "yet to be or coming", which is more like "the future historian" (someone who will exist).

    *   Sense 1: `future%3:00:00`
    *   Sense 2: `future%5:00:00:prospective:00`
    *   Let's look at the WordNet sense keys. `future%3:00:00` is the first adjective sense. `future%5:00:00:prospective:00` is a more specific sense.
    *   In many cases, the most general sense is the correct one unless a more specific one fits better.
    *   "Future cancer treatment" is a very general use of "future".
    *   But the example "future employment opportunities" is so similar.

    *   Sense 1: "some future historian will evaluate him"
    *   Sense 2: "he was preparing for future employment opportunities"
    *   If I have to choose between these two for "future cancer treatment", "future employment opportunities" is a much closer parallel than "future historian".

    *   Sense 1: yet to be or coming.
    *   Sense 2: effective in or looking toward the future.
    *   "Future cancer treatment" -> Treatment that is coming. (Sense 1)
    *   "Future cancer treatment" -> Treatment that is prospective. (Sense 2)
    *   Let's try to find the source of these glosses. They look like WordNet 3.0.
    *   In WordNet 3.0:
        *   `future%3:00:00` (adj): yet to be or coming.
        *   `future%5:00:00:prospective:00` (adj): effective in or looking toward the future.
    *   Wait, "effective in or looking toward the future" is the definition for "prospective".
    *   If "future" is used as a synonym for "prospective", then Sense 2 is correct.
    *   "Prospective cancer treatment" makes perfect sense.
    *   "Coming cancer treatment" also makes sense, but "prospective" is more professional/medical.

    *   "An emerging understanding of the genes is expected to produce an array of new strategies for future cancer treatment and prevention."
    *   The strategies are for treatment that will happen in the future.
    *   This is "prospective" treatment.

    *   Sense 1: `future%3:00:00`
    *   Sense 2: `future%5:00:00:prospective:00`
    *   Let's look at the examples one more time.
    *   Sense 1: "some future historian"
    *   Sense 2: "future employment opportunities"
    *   "Future cancer treatment" is much more like "future employment opportunities" than "future historian".

    *   Wait, I just found a similar example in a WSD dataset. "Future" in "future generations" is often Sense 1. "Future" in "future plans" is often Sense 2.
    *   "Future cancer treatment" is more like "future plans" (something being developed for the future) than "future generations" (something that will simply exist).
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is more likely.

    *   Sense 1: yet to be or coming.
    *   Sense 2: effective in or looking toward the future.
    *   "Future cancer treatment" = treatment that is prospective/intended for the future.
    *   This matches Sense 2 and its example "future employment opportunities".

*   Target lemma: `likely`
    *   Target surface form: `likely`
    *   Context: "...can predict whether an otherwise healthy individual is <t>likely</t> to get cancer."

    *   Sense 1: `likely%3:00:00::` - "has a good chance of being the case or of coming about" (Example: "these services are likely to be available to us all before long"). This is an adjective used as a predicate (is likely to).
    *   Sense 2: `likely%3:00:04::` - "likely but not certain to be or become true or real" (Synonym: probable; Example: "a likely result"). This is typically used attributively (a likely result).
    *   Sense 3: `likely%5:00:00:prospective:00` - "expected to become or be; in prospect" (Synonym: potential; Example: "potential clients"). This is typically used attributively (likely clients).
    *   Sense 4: `likely%5:00:00:credible:00` - "within the realm of credibility" (Example: "not a very likely excuse").

    *   The phrase is "is likely to get cancer".
    *   This matches the structure "is likely to [verb]" seen in Sense 1's example ("are likely to be available").
    *   It describes the probability of an event occurring (getting cancer).

    *   Sense 1: Predicative use, probability of an event. (Matches perfectly).
    *   Sense 2: Attributive use, probable outcome. (Less fit than Sense 1).
    *   Sense 3: Prospective/potential. (Usually used as "likely candidate", not "is likely to").
    *   Sense 4: Credible. (Doesn't fit the context of medical probability).

    *   The context "is likely to get cancer" is a classic usage of Sense 1.

Target lemma: get
Target surface form: get
Context:
Medical scientists are starting to uncover a handful of genes which, if damaged, unleash the chaotic growth of cells that characterizes cancer. Scientists say the discovery of these genes in recent months is painting a new and startling picture of how cancer develops. An emerging understanding of the genes is expected to produce an array of new strategies for future cancer treatment and prevention. That is for the future. Already, scientists are developing tests based on the newly identified genes that, for the first time, can predict whether an otherwise healthy individual is likely to <t>get</t> cancer. "It's a super-exciting set of discoveries, "says Bert Vogelstein, a Johns Hopkins University researcher who has just found a gene pivotal to the triggering of colon cancer.
