S1 E72019

The Ultimate Disease

Episode Synopsis

Today, surgery can deal with almost any disease. But there is one that continues to frustrate it - cancer. Humans have fought this silent nemesis for over 4,000 years, but have yet to claim victory against it. Chemotherapy, targeted drugs, and the latest CAR T-cell Therapy can only delay the arrival of death. What options are left for doctors when death is inevitable? This episode looks at another side of medicine brought out by the particular deadly nature of cancer.
