M D Anderson answer the question: What is Cancer?

[JAWwilliams58]

my grandpa was just diagnosed with bone and lung cancer and he can no longer walk, he is 93 years old, he has lived a long happy life and he is probably not going to make it to christmas. i love him very much, i spent half of my summer taking care of him last year. i would just like to say thank you to everyone who is reading this, and to anyone who has ever donated to any kind of cancer research program.

thanks you.

[chelseaforever10]

@rapstarrohan Sorry for your loss, I know how it feels. Stay strong and remember the happy times you and your brother had together.

[imarchello]

Is there a video that goes into more detail?

This just barely scratches the surface..

[rafael77687able]

[BethMcCormickANGEL]

my cousin had cancer, unfortunately he didn't make it, R.I.P Thomas Paton, Iloveyou<3

[vaheedh]

why dont we just use the chemicals that keep animals alive from diseasea, viruses and cancer and use it on ourselves?

[Petionvilloi]

... and what should I tell God & Christ after my brother died of an aggressive type of cancer?

[rytmf]

I lost my very loveable, very kind father due to Cancer. He was having cancer (metastasis). Its like a nightmare everyday.

And I belive a strong immune system and Yoga along with good diagnosis and necessary treatment will sure help to supress cancer.

When I will have a lot of money I promise I'll donate it to cancer center.

Join me to fight against cancer.

[DefiniereVerrafft]

fighting cancer is like fighting crime is like fighting darkness.

bring in the light.

FIGHT FOR CANCER FIGHT FOR PEOPLE! <3

I have no faith in the medical establishment & their toxic poison. Truth is there is no mystery to cancer, nature has everything we need to prevent & cure it & is infinitely more intelligent than any drug company, its the drugs that kill not the cancer. Cancer is a symptom of a toxic body, drugs just mask while toxins build until they kill us. Build the immune system, the bodies only weapon & create health through natural means & reduce environmental toxins, no drug can ever come close to that.

[angfer732]

Please tell me where I can find the answers you speak of. I believe there is a lot of truth in what your saying but what can i do . I live in New jersey for Christ sake talk about free radicals

[LightofBankai]

I hate cancer... when i make a lot of money i'm going to donate some money into a cancer research project or something... i hate cancer.

[Theroguesunit6]

is testicular cancer preventable

[webguy943]

@LightofBankai throwing money at a problem isnt necessarily going to solve it, u must work with the scientists so figure out solutions on how control it.

[n1c3j0b]

this video explains it well why we are cancer of the earth, as it says cells come and die in a orderly fashion, but cancer is caused by a disruption and start growing out of control. notice the rate of the population growth...notice the growth of cancer, people you can have sex just stop haven babies!

[COMEDYTIME2]

[parnie101]

@COMEDYTIME2

[1peace12]

really good video

[emin192837]

ok so if kemu therapy stops cell division how does it stop the cancer cells from dividing after it??

[shouldbewritingpaper]

chemo works through several different mechanisms. the term implies chemical versus other (e.g. radiological, surgical) therapy for cancer. A chemo agent aimed at stopping cell division--such as methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, 6-mercaptopurine, cytarabine--will stop SOME cancerous cells from dividing, though some may persist dividing abnormally. and chemo agents aimed at stopping cell division will also stop some non-cancerous cells from dividing at their normal rate (e.g. hair cells).

[smileSUSHI]

wow... this is the best video on cancer!!!!!

[ade58ghu9]

this is great video

[pippycinder]

I wish you could embed this video, I'm working on a cancer wiki, and this would be great. Does anyone know if this is on google vids or if there is any way to embed it?

[JeremyI7]

Very nicely done. But...

you should have explained on how to avoid cancer. Yes I know it sounds like it can't be cured, but over 30% of causes leading to cancer are poor dietary habits. Most people don't even think that diets have anything to do with cancer, however it is basically almost proven.

[Alize101586]

Very informative!
