Brain Tumors: New Hope, New Treatment
Severe headaches, memory lapses, a change in personality. What's going on? That's what David B. wanted to know. The unhappy diagnosis was brain tumor. A cancer so dangerous that treatment is difficult, if not impossible. David was given one year to live.
Several years later, David is still alive. This medical miracle is a result of new science such as brain mapping, a revolutionary laser surgery technique, and just developed medications. Today doctors are using this new medicine to directly target brain tumors.
What symptoms do you look for? Who's at risk? You won't want to miss the answers. Brain Tumors: New Hope, New Treatments airs on The Health Network and is produced by Information Television Network. This show is co-hosted by Henry Friedman, M.D., Duke University Brain Tumor Center; Alfred Yung, M.D., M.D. Anderson Medical Center; and Michael Prados, M.D., University of California, San Francisco.
This 30-minute documentary program is produced in association with the American Brain Tumor Association as part of ITV's award-winning series, The Cutting Edge Medical Report, and is made possible by an educational grant from Schering-Plough.
