A better way to treat cancer, Brian Druker
Description:
Interviewee: Brian Druker.
Brian Druker talks bout a better way to treat cancer.
Transcript:
But it always seemed to me that you were using very harsh chemicals to cure a disease and that was fantastic but it still seemed there had to be a better way and the better way was to understand what was driving the growth of these cancer cells and if we could get to that point maybe we could treat this disease more rationally. And I always figured wouldn't it be great just to be a part of that discovery that was likely to occur over the next 20 or 30 years.
