Watch the video: Cancer, the New Trailblazer
Should cancer really be understood and treated as a genetic disease or could another avenue which was once abandoned but has now been taken up again enable us to combat it? Researchers and doctors in various countries want to revolutionize the cancer paradigm. For them, cancer is a disorder of cellular metabolism, which could be treated with a few simple molecules and anti-diabetes drugs already on the market. This film examines why genetic cancer theories became the sole focus of government funding and invites us to take stock of new research and clinical trials taking a big picture approach by depriving cancer cells of the food and resources they need to develop.
This week you are asked to view a video: Cancer the New Trailblazer. Describe what you learned about cancer that you did not already know. Also – pick out one of the key methods in the video for combatting/treating cancer and describe this. What is your opinion of the method? Do you believe it is viable that you would be willing to try? Why or why not? Are there any other methods of treatment/prevention that you would be more apt to follow?
