D4P: Beating Cancer

Welcome to D4P: Beating Cancer
Frequently, we use the term “cancer” in a very broad manner. While it helps us quickly discuss it, it also hides the reality that “cancer” is not a singular disease. “Cancer” is a bucket term that captures many different issues that lead to diseases that display themselves in a similar fashion. Thus, questions regarding when we will cure “cancer” and why we have not yet, are difficult to answer. But, scientists are working to apply curative or alleviating methods to all cancers in an effort to decrease their impact on humanity. Some of these methods may be broadly applied while others address its many root causes. This series explores two of the most promising routes to therapeutically help us address “cancer” and cancers.
