Scientist says chemotherapy may not be answer to cancer.

[Guest guest]

AN AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTIC CORPORATION TV INTERVIEW

And, has cancer chemotherapy, the use of drugs to treat malignancies been

oversold? That’s the clear implication of a paper published by some Australian

cancer specialists, two of whom, perhaps non-coincidentally are radiation

oncologists – radiotherapists.

 

Anyway in this summary of evidence, the assertion is that chemo has only added

about 2% to cancer survival. The lead author is Association Professor Graeme

Morgan who’s at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney. Is this, I wondered, an in

house battle, the revenge of the radiotherapists?
