Imagine cancer as a highly manageable disease whose treatment has few side effects. As a young doctor, Dr. Judah Folkman proposed that tumors cannot grow beyond the size of a pinhead without a network of blood vessels to nourish them. Folkman discusses his controversial hypothesis as well as the frustrating roadblocks on the way to developing a potentially breakthrough cancer therapy. And hear the personal stories of courageous cancer patients participating in clinical drug trials.
