Episode Description

Few things are more frightening than hearing a doctor say, “You have cancer.” However fewer patients may begin hearing those three shocking words. On today’s show Dr. Otis Brawley, Chief Medical Officer of the American Cancer Society and professor of hematology, oncology, medicine and epidemiology at Emory University, will discuss a proposed change to the definition of cancer as we know it today. This change could eliminate the word “cancer” from several commonly diagnosed conditions.
