One in 100 will die from it.

It's not. We have no idea the mechanism.

It's a huge problem.

Many cancer patients lose their hair because of the chemotherapy.

Couldn't that mean that the chemo is working?

Think of it like timereleased chemotherapy.

And since we are in a medical room,

Chemotherapy, one of the most effective ways used to treat cancer today, involves giving patients really high doses of chemicals to try and kill off cancer cells.

So, about the worst kind of breast cancer you can get.

Bestcase scenario, with chemo,

(Applause)

The bars represent survival time taken from the era in which there was only chemotherapy, or surgery, or radiation available.

After four rounds of chemo,

Now, through the treatment you've had already, we've bought you some time...

The next time, put an ice pack on your head during chemo.

Still by 2003, my disease had transitioned to secondary progressive MS.

And I am there with the three million in the streets of Port au Prince.

So a woman, age 37, presents with stage 2 estrogen receptor positive breast cancer.

Cisplatin is a relatively common ovarian cancer chemotherapy drug a relatively simple molecule made in the lab that messes with the DNA of cancer cells and causes them to kill themselves.

Not to mention the chemo itself.

There's chemo, radiation.

He received high dose radiation to the head.

And that this, in fact, will be the way that we treat cancer in the future.

So I am halfway through chemo,and my doctor is very confident

If the cancer has spread, or if it's inherently everywhere like a leukemia, your doctor will most likely recommend chemotherapy or a combination of radiation and chemo.

We divided the patients into two groups.

What we saw in that trial is that that the life expectancies of both groups so the chemotherapy treated group and the Tumor Treating Field group was the same.

After completing my first round of treatment and financing the world's most expensive alibi?

You might know that chemistry is the science of making molecules or, to my taste, new drugs for cancer.

She comes back three years later at age 42 with more ovarian cancer, more chemotherapy.

There's none of the tiredness.

Most of that state is hidden.

I've had electrolysis, magnetic therapy, injections, mud baths, massage, physiotherapy, acupuncture.

So now you're faced with telling your patient, first of all, that they may need another surgery, or that they need additional therapy such as radiation or chemotherapy.

let alone any disease in such black and white terms.

Chemotherapy's an option, but it's very risky.

look,I can deal with the chemo.

She was diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago.

You've been nauseous all day from the chemo.

We have yet to discover an effective remedy for cancer.

We call this antiangiogenic therapy, and it's completely different from chemotherapy, because it selectively aims at the blood vessels that are feeding the cancers.

So immediately, as Francesca said, we changed our life.

And my reward for surviving it was to go back for four more months of chemo.

They had no pain, suffered none of the infections.

Global famine was inevitable.
