Yesterday, the National Cancer Institute announced a new program called the Physical Sciences and Oncology, where physicists, mathematicians, are brought in to think about cancer, people who never approached it before.

And the point of the article was that we have gotten reductionist in our view of biology, in our view of cancer.

Reduce occurrence of cancer by a drug that doesn't even touch the cancer.

The goal of me as a cancer doctor is not to understand cancer.

A cancer epidemic caused by chemicals in the environment was going to shorten our lives.

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 I went back to the biology of angiogenesis and started thinking Could the answer to cancer be preventing angiogenesis, beating cancer at its own game so the cancers could never become dangerous?

I think cancer should not be a noun.

You know, I know very well, as a cancer doctor, I can't treat advanced cancer.

Recent research suggests that efforts to eliminate cancers may actually hasten the emergence of resistance and tumor recurrence, thus reducing a patient s chances of survival. The reason arises from a component of tumor biology not ordinarily investigated the cost of resistance to treatment.

Mr Taylor was scared of cancer.

Now I'm going to focus on cancer because angiogenesis is a hallmark of cancer, every type of cancer.

Suddenly, my cancer was a cancer that was everywhere, the cancer of cruelty, the cancer of greed, the cancer that gets inside people who live down the streets from chemical plants and they're usually poor the cancer inside the coal miner's lungs, the cancer of stress for not achieving enough, the cancer of buried trauma, the cancer in caged chickens and polluted fish, the cancer in women's uteruses from being raped, the cancer that is everywhere from our carelessness.

Now in medical science, we don't want to know how necessarily just how cancer works, we want to know how your cancer is different from my cancer.

And chemokines are essentially chemical attractants, and they're the stop and go signals for cancer.

The doctor cured him of his cancer.

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

So this Tasmanian devil cancer is perhaps the ultimate cancer.

Scientists around the world were intrigued by this cancer, this infectious cancer, that was spreading through the Tasmanian devil population.

Danny Hillis Understanding cancer through proteomics

Turning to the issue of cancer and breast cancer in particular, she said a commission on radiotherapy and oncology had been established in the Ministry of Health to improve the quality of cancer services with a view to reducing total mortality from cancer by 15 per cent.

We're treating cancer almost like it's an infectious disease.

I guess my cancer different from your cancer.

You change that system, and you could have a marked effect on the cancer.

Scientists haven't found a cure for cancer yet.

So to look for a way to prevent angiogenesis in cancer, I went back to look at cancer's causes.

Now this is a very rare cancer, this BRD4 addicted cancer.

We've learned at Stanford and other places that we can discover cancer stem cells, the ones that seem to be really responsible for disease relapse.

And as a cancer doctor, I'm looking forward to being out of a job.

Then I got cancer or I found out I had cancer.

So, the website of the National Cancer Institute says that cancer is a genetic disease.

Cancer World

It comes in California with a warning This product contains chemicals known by the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

And just as the Tasmanian devil cancer is contagious through the spread of living cancer cells, so is this dog cancer.

As for cancer, since 1970, lung cancer causes more deaths in the United States than any other type of cancer.

And, unfortunately, this late stage of cancer is the one at which it's most likely to be diagnosed, when angiogenesis is already turned on and cancer cells are growing like wild.

And using this system, we can test the potency of cancer drugs.

And on the animal on the right, you see that the cancer was responding.

And they use low intensity electric fields to fight cancer.

Yes, cancer has just been one page in my life.

The first cancer was done, which was brain cancer.

In a human being, down in here it could be make blood cells, start cancer.

I have cancer.
