Cancer Research: How It Works and Why It's Crucial Today
Professor Gerald Denis, a molecular oncologist at Boston Medical Center, investigates a range of cancers and their causes. Some of his important studies include prostate cancer and breast cancer, which are increasing today. He focuses on relationships between specific factors such as metabolic conditions (e.g., obesity and diabetes) and certain types of cancer.
In this presentation, Dr. Denis explains how cancer research works, the international influence of American cancer research, and how the recent federal (NIH) defunding sets back the progress in cancer treatment at a time when cancers are increasing.
