Cancer

The word "cancer" strikes more terror than any other disease. This program looks at cancer as what we have only recently learned it really is: a flaw in the genetic program in certain body cells, which begin to divide in an uncontrolled fashion. In its fight against these rogue cells, modern medicine makes use of three major procedures: chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. New techniques are constantly being developed and the program describes two promising new procedures in the fight against cancer: photochemotherapy and monoclonal antibodies. (23 minutes)
