Nova - Cancer Warrior
Released in DVD by Wgbh Boston Video (02 October, 2001)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Starring: Nova and Judah Folkman
Curing cancer is medicine's holy grail, and its Sir Galahad might be a quiet Boston researcher. Judah Folkman has spent 40 years studying tumors as a surgeon, and Nova: Cancer Warrior examines his career and exciting breakthroughs. Focusing on the blood vessels that feed tumors rather than the cancer itself, he and his colleagues have made giant steps toward starving the bad cells while keeping the rest of the body healthy. Clinical trials at the University of Wisconsin should offer crucial evidence in living patients; at the same time, lab research is quickly finding newer and better candidates for treatment. Including lab footage, interviews with researchers and patients, and careful explanations of the scientific concepts involved, the program goes far to convince the viewer that safe and effective treatments for cancer may soon be available. --Rob Lightner
