Synopsis

As a diagnostic radiologist who has watched many suffer with cancer, Dr. Margaret I. Cuomo has been inspired to seek out new ways to wage a smarter war on cancer. Currently about 1.6 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year, and more than 1,500 people die each day. Where is the bold leadership that will transform our system from treatment to prevention? Have we forgotten the mission of the National Cancer Act of 1971 to conquer cancer? Through an analysis of more than forty years of medical evidence and interviews with the top cancer researchers, drug company executives, and health policy advisers, Dr. Cuomo reveals the intriguing answers to these questions.
