- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED conferences.
Cancer research relies heavily on testing drugs in mice, yet it’s clear that for effective treatment, we need to be testing in humans. In an informative talk, oncologist Azra Raza walks us through the challenges of personalized cancer research and offers a potential solution, based on decades of sample collection.
I met her today for medicine class at Barnard College and she was the most inspiring woman I have ever met and her backstory has really affected how I look at leukemia cancer ( what she majors in) and how it had taken the life of her husband and almost her daughter. God Bless her soul.
Very inspirational speech as a truly dedicated oncologist. Bless her and her daughter.
This broke my heart beyond repair
Love her tone, her pace, her humor, and her mannerisms. Very classy lady!
what a fantastic talk! We ALL need to work together to find a cure for cancer. Very good for anyone who doesn't know much, and I can't believe the statistic about how much is spent on shoes :( - please take a minute to watch this people and fight to be forward thinking with research.
A cure for cancer is so hard to find because cancer is so lucrative -- follow the money!
My mother had barely been eating any food for the past 15 years and we always told her that she was going to come down w something serious. Also, she's a major worry wart and took on everyone's problems. She was diagnosed w MDS recently. Is it related? Maybe. She began "overdosing" on organic vegetables, fruits and supplements and went from bed ridden to bountiful energy in a matter of a week and outwardly symptoms of illness are fading. Is it related? Maybe.
i got very emotional at the end.
What I gathered from this talk is that putting more money into research wouldn’t do much. As for living and dying well is the way to go. At the end is all that matter.😘
Allah may bless her and her daughter/kids
I really enjoyed this talk
Theres no money in the cure. Simple as that.
Loved it! This is way I love Ted Talks!
May ALLAH Almighty bless you with happiness..!Ameen
Thank you
Being great full to Dr osaye from all time till all time I hope you find what your heart desires just as you have put a smile on many of our face with just your hands and herbal’s
My dog has mass cell tumours, in fact 13 to start with. Vet gave him chemo steroids he was so ill. I took him off them and the vet said he would deteriorate quickly if I did. My friend who uses homeopathy offered to help bearing in mind she has only treated humans. That was 5 years ago, he has been terminal for at least 6 years. Not cured but in remission. The tumours come up, they re treated and stabilised. On my sons life this is true, no drugs. Just herbs and vitamins with a pure organic diet and love.
I just want to say a very big thank you to Dr Obaz on CZcams, for saving my sister from cancer that almost took her life, God bless you sir🥂💕🥰🔝💕.
The biggest problem people lose live with cancer is not necessarily the treatment but the detection & diagnosis of cancer. In most cases it's detected so late to be cured in a timely manner. It's a shame that we still use 50 year old ancient technology CT scan for diagnosis. In reality this 50 year old technology should be in museums. Healthcare system manufacturers don't invest in new technology because no one else is doing it, so no competition. Like how no existing auto manufacturer invested in electrical vehicles because there was no competition but Elon Musk with zero auto & EV experience changed all that forcing all to adopt. We need to do the same to come up with better robust technology to detect cancer in the very beginning
One month ago today my mother passed away from Acute Myeloid Leukemia. It was six weeks from diagnosed, to her passing. This disease is rapidly advancing, and brutal. What my mother went through, I would not wish upon anyone. Her dr. miss diagnosed her , did not send her for blood work right away and prescribed her muscle relaxants and told her to come back in a week and see him then. My mother's symptoms were fatigue, and sore muscles and joints, which are symptoms for just about everything.
