Summary
This video program identifies the recent technological and scientific advances that have enabled ever-greater numbers of cancer patients to “beat” the disease. It covers the principal forms of cancer treatment (surgery, chemotherapy and radiation) and discusses how those treatments are paired with newer treatments such as gene therapy and angiogenesis-inhibiting drugs. Hearing from cancer victims themselves the program shows the psychological, social and spiritual impact of cancer on the individual; the importance of family and support groups in helping cancer patients focus positively on recovery; and the impact that a battle with cancer often has on the individual’s values and life priorities.
