And he received first line chemotherapy.

Think of it like timereleased chemotherapy.

She is treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

Many cancer patients lose their hair because of chemotherapy.

Many cancer patients lose their hair because of the chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy and marijuana go together like apple pie and Chevrolet.

In fact, it's one of the biggest problems with chemotherapy today.

And that's huge for chemotherapy effectiveness possibly for many different types of cancer.

In the lab, we've observed tremendous synergies between chemotherapy and Tumor Treating Fields.

All the stuff I've been through, and you're scared of a little chemotherapy?

So the idea that chemotherapy may just be disrupting that complex system, just like building bone disrupted that system and reduced recurrence, chemotherapy may work by that same exact way.

Some of the antimicrobial peptides on frog skin can kill HlV, some act as pain killers, and others serve as natural mosquito repellents.

She comes back three years later at age 42 with more ovarian cancer, more chemotherapy.

Typically, there's hair loss, which begins a couple of weeks after the start of chemotherapy.

She underwent four different regimes of chemotherapy over two years, none of which had an effect.

I think we started at the beginning from cell division and multiplying and, you know, chemotherapy working.

But importantly, the Tumor Treating Field group suffered none of the side effects typical of chemotherapy patients.

Two years later, she comes back with stage 3C ovarian cancer, unfortunately treated again with surgery and chemotherapy.

It might be things like, don't eat that day, or give them a little chemotherapy, maybe a little radiation.

The bars represent survival time taken from the era in which there was only chemotherapy, or surgery, or radiation available.

The first group received second line chemotherapy, which is expected to double the life expectancy, versus no treatment at all.

Nobody has ever shown and this will be shocking nobody has ever shown that most chemotherapy actually touches a cancer cell.

So, there was a part in the video where we had to represent how the cells reproduce and how chemotherapy affects it.

Without making any promises, I can tell you that the specific course of radiation and chemotherapy I'm going to suggest has been successful.

We call this antiangiogenic therapy, and it's completely different from chemotherapy, because it selectively aims at the blood vessels that are feeding the cancers.

Alex was diagnosed with cancer before she was even a year old, and that was the only life she knew sickness, chemotherapy, and surgery.

So what we do in our field is we change and input, we give aggressive chemotherapy, and we say, Did that output get better?

They had gotten their chemotherapy, and then they randomized them, where half got placebo, and half got a drug called Zoledronic acid that builds bone.

And when we talked to her, she said that when she was undergoing chemotherapy, she had to go to the hospital every month for her infusions.

Chemotherapy, one of the most effective ways used to treat cancer today, involves giving patients really high doses of chemicals to try and kill off cancer cells.

If the cancer has spread, or if it's inherently everywhere like a leukemia, your doctor will most likely recommend chemotherapy or a combination of radiation and chemo.

He was undergoing a treatment chemotherapy treatments and there's a related treatment called brachytherapy, where tiny, radioactive seeds are placed into the body to treat cancerous tumors.

So now you're faced with telling your patient, first of all, that they may need another surgery, or that they need additional therapy such as radiation or chemotherapy.

So these are patients who had received surgery, high dose radiation to the head and first line chemotherapy, and that had failed and their tumors had grown back.

What we saw in that trial is that that the life expectancies of both groups so the chemotherapy treated group and the Tumor Treating Field group was the same.

A whole new approach, instead of giving high doses of chemotherapy by different mechanisms, to try to bring technology to get a picture of what's actually happening in the body.

Cisplatin is a relatively common ovarian cancer chemotherapy drug a relatively simple molecule made in the lab that messes with the DNA of cancer cells and causes them to kill themselves.

If we eliminate cancer the way we're trying to do now, with chemotherapy and radiation, we're bombarding the body or the cancer with toxins, or with radiation, trying to kill it.

And once our lives are touched by cancer, we quickly learn that there are basically three weapons, or three tools, that are available to fight the disease surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

How do you not despair when, with the body ravaged by chemotherapy, climbing a mere flight of stairs was sheer torture, that to someone like me who could dance for three hours?

And if Mother Nature has given us some clues, we think there might be a new future in the value of how we eat, and what we eat is really our chemotherapy three times a day.

So the first time heart disease strikes in women and men, half of the time it's sudden cardiac death no opportunity to say good bye, no opportunity to take her to the chemotherapy, no opportunity to help her pick out a wig.

And, so, doing that on a legal pad, which is, I think, how I ended up sending it to you guys, taking a picture of myself on camera, really helped, you know, me understand the crucial, and that's the crucial part of why chemotherapy actually works.

So that was my work, and it was my way of reimagining the future for future research, with figuring out exactly what this protein does, but also for the future of chemotherapy effectiveness so maybe all grandfathers with cancer have a little bit more time to spend with their grandchildren.
