The program, developed by Dr. John Robinson , demonstrates that improving quality of life for cancer patients is just as important as curing them of the disease.
Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal forms of cancer.
It is called the disease that whispers because it is so difficult to diagnose until it has spread beyond the ovary. Dr. Linda Cook has teamed up with other scientists to try to detect early changes in ovarian tissue that might progress to cancer. Dr. Victor Tron's research focuses on genes involved in the development of skin cancer. His work may eventually lead to ways to prevent and even cure the disease.
