CANCER TREATMENT SIDE EFFECTS

Radiation and chemotherapy often make patients wonder which is worse - cancer or the weapons used to fight it? This program examines the many side effects of cancer treatments, revealing essential medical facts behind them and suggesting ways for cancer patients to feel better, despite the likelihood of pain, nausea, and other debilitations. Discussions address many frequently asked questions, such as: When should treatment side effects be considered too severe? Which of them can be life -threatening? What methods exist for reducing the impact of side effects and tangibly increasing quality of life? Expert commentary comes from Dr. Barry Meisenburg of the University of Maryland and Dr. Shakun Malik of Georgetown University.

ESOPHAGEAL CANCER

In the past, esophageal cancer was linked to heavy smoking and drinking, but recent research points to a new culprit: acid reflux. This program examines the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of esophageal cancer. Case studies and commentary from leading medical experts in the field elucidate the causal chain between age; obesity; gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD; and Barrett's esophagus, a precursor to esophageal cancer. Gastroenterologists also discuss how long-term use of over-the-counter and prescription antacids can mask important warning signs of this disease.

WAGING WAR ON CANCER: CHILDHOOD CANCERS

Just a generation ago, pediatric cancers were almost always fatal. But today, 80 percent of childhood cancers are cured - young patients are disease -free and go on to live a normal life span. This program explores how doctors and researchers achieved this milestone, considered one of the greatest success stories in modern medicine. Also, scientists detail how research into pediatric cancer helped oncologists to develop effective anticancer regimens for adults. Interviewees include Dr. Eugenie Kleinerman of the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Dr. Elliot Vichinsky of Oakland Children's Hospital, and Dr. Stacy Berg of Baylor College of Medicine.

One of the most deadly forms of cancer is also one of the most preventable. In this program, doctors from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and elsewhere focus on three case studies of senior citizens with colon cancer to explore the etiology and pathology of colon cancer, risk factors, and screening options.

CURING CANCER: CLINICAL RESEARCH TRIALS

No drug or medicine has ever been proven safe and effective without a clinical trial. This program demonstrates the vital role of clinical trials in current cancer research, and explains why many medical experts view the clinical trial system as the basis for curing all forms of cancerˇXor turning it into a manageable disease that patients can live with. Personal testimony from trial participants who have survived lung, breast, and other types of cancer is juxtaposed with the problem of cultural and psychological barriers to participation, providing valuable insight into the sometimes mysterious clinical trial process.

DEALING WITH CANCER

Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease. In fact, 1 of every 4 fatalities in America is attributed to cancer, amounting to more than 1,500 deaths each day. After introducing the broad topic of cancer, this program narrows its focus to scrutinize breast, cervical, prostate, testicular, lung, and skin cancers. The symptoms of these cancers, as well as the steps that can be taken to minimize the risk of contracting them, are identified. Factors that appear to increase susceptibility, such as age, diet, gender, race, and personal behavior patterns, are considered as well.

CANCER CELL RESEARCH: THE WAY OF ALL FLESH

For years scientists tried to get cancer cells to reproduce outside of the body, with little success. Forty-five years ago, a few days before a woman named Henrietta died of cancer, a scientist took samples of her cancerous cells and placed them in human placenta to see if they would grow. Not only did they grow, but Henrietta's cells have since proven vital to cancer research worldwide. This program examines how the cells advanced the war on cancer, and why they have caused controversy among scientists in the highly politicized research community.

CANCER

The word "cancer" strikes more terror than any other disease. This program looks at cancer as what we have only recently learned it really is: a flaw in the genetic program in certain body cells, which begin to divide in an uncontrolled fashion. In its fight against these rogue cells, modern medicine makes use of three major procedures: chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. New techniques are constantly being developed and the program describes two promising new procedures in the fight against cancer: photochemotherapy and monoclonal antibodies.

RIGHT OR WRONG? A DISCUSSION OF ETHICAL ISSUES - FAITH, FOOD, AND MEDICINE: BATTLING CANCER

She has been diagnosed as having terminal cancer, but will not lie down and die. "I am going to try everything in my power that I think will help me," she says. Pauline has four sons aged between 16 months and 17 years and has been told there is no medical cure for her illness. Undeterred, she has tried health foods, herbalism, homeopathy, aromatherapy, and spiritual healing. "While I am still able to get up and move about I am not going to sit down and let my life just go away." Her case is the subject of discussion by a Pentecostal minister who himself overcame cancer nearly two decades ago; a member of the (British) National Federation of Spiritual Healers, which is currently involved in research with the British Medical Association; and a clinical oncologist.
