Nova - Cancer Warrior (DVD)
NOVA presents this fascinating look at Dr. Judah Folkman and his efforts to research methods of treating cancer that go against the grain of the research of most in his field. In the 1960s, Dr. Folkman hypothesized that tumors could not grow without a blood supply to feed them and therefore, if the blood supply to the tumor were cut off, its growth could be halted. This idea was so simplistic that most researches in the field rejected it. However, in the 1990s, a scientist in Dr. Folkman`s lab discovered Endostain, a drug that wiped away tumors in mice without any side effects. Here, NOVA goes behind-the-scenes in the lab to document this exciting discovery and to interview Dr. Folkman, who has never appeared on camera before.NR"
