  • After heart disease, cancer remains the second most common cause of death in the US. Only around 5% of cancers are hereditary, and the remaining 95% are sporadic, contributed by environmental factors and lifestyle. Among these cancers, carcinomas account for over 80%, which develop in epithelial cells. Epithelial cells are attached to one another; therefore, when cancer starts in these cells, they are also attached to one another, confined to the local environment, and develop a benign tumor. At some point, when cancer progresses, the cancer cells activate a latent embryonic program known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition, gain stem cell properties, and start to behave like cells in an embryo. These cancer cells with stem cell properties are resistant to most therapies. They move around the body and develop metastasis. Advancements in sequencing, imaging, and precision oncology allow us to characterize these detrimental cells spatially and temporally at a single-cell level to find a cure for cancer. Sendurai A. Mani is a tenured Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and Dean’s Endowed Chair for Translational Oncology. He is also the Associate Director for Translational Oncology at Legorreta Cancer Center and Director of the Cancer Stem Cell Center at Brown University. After completing his Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, Dr. Mani joined the Weinberg laboratory at the Whitehead Institute/MIT as a postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Mani and his colleagues at MIT demonstrated that the activation of latent embryonic epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) promotes metastasis. In addition, Dr. Mani was the first to show that the activation of EMT provides stem cell properties to cancer cells. This highly cited finding provided insights into the presence of plasticity within the tumor and how cancer cells survive in the circulation and develop metastasis similar to the tissue of origin at the distant site. Dr. Mani received several prestigious awards, including the V-Scholar and American Cancer Society Research Scholar awards and Dean's Endowed Chair for Translational Oncology at Brown University. He is an elected member of the scientific research honor society Sigma Xi and an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I know two people successfully on immunotherapy for melanoma. Both were given six months and both are fine and one is over three years on, the other about two years one. Absolutely brilliant for them and their families but it was very expensive.

      Both must have been in early stages, and both would have been fine without establishment immunotherapy or chemo. Find better doctors.

    @RobCLynch Před 15 dny +12

    Many of us are here for the same reason so therefore, i recommend that you look at the work of Dr Thomas Seyfried and how his Boston university clinic is tackling cancer using a metabolic approach. While cancer continues to be treated as a genetic disease, we will never get on top of it. It also goes without saying that standard of care (chemotherapy and radiation) is going to do us in anyway.

    Thank you Sir for sharing wonderful information. If we see the causes of cancer and try to get rid of those factors with help from inside family or outside help. And very important point is to be happy and be respectful towards everyone. Always use good words, all the time our cells are getting the signal of love and hate from us. If love is more, for others too then no cancer. This is what I could understand. Harmony in our cells and bacteria will promote healthy body.

    Although the title of your video say "how to prevent it" you did not say how to prevent cancer. What is the point of giving us an overload of medical information, when we cannot even manage to see a doctor these days. What can we as patients do with that information? We need consciencious doctors who seriously care about their patients health.

    My MOAS cancer surgery last year March 2023 left me crippled on my right leg. I hope every day is my last day on earth and have stopped going to my oncologist for follow-up as of this month and not having any more scans or blood work. I am a U. of TN. Certified Master Gardener who can no longer work my lovely garden and I had to resign my job after 21-years in merchandising due to this and I was not ready to retire and resign. This is supposed to be a recurring cancer and I cannot wait until it returns because I have been a coward to end my own life, which would create issues for my family and friends to be left after suicide. Dr's need to listen to their patients in a different way and just getting cancer out of the body. That is not always best for each patient. Now my oncology surgeon says to live life and go travel and do and see things....a little difficult to do with a full leg brace, major muscle atrophy and on a walker for the rest of my life. You saved my life to do nothing but sit in my house all day with my arms folded. Thanks for absolutely NOTHING! This talk did nothing but make me more angry. Stop trying to eradicate cancer just for the sake of making it go away. There is more to life than just this...there is what is left & destroyed after you send the patient home alone!

      @grainiac7824 Před 17 dny +15

      Wow that's a lot. I'm in TN also; I wish comfort for you and am praying right now you can have that. Lots to be angry about. Similar issues with saving the life after severe stroke or head trauma, they go home to extreme hardship on themselves and their families. I do hope you can find joy in your last days and ask God to let you know Him before you go.

      Cancer thrives and grows with carbohydrates. There have been two Nobel Prizes won regarding the discovery of the bodily function called autophagy. When cancer is starved of glucose (carbohydrates in the blood), it finds nutrition in damaged cells. Including cancer cells. In 1931, Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. He observed that tumors displayed a metabolic shift toward glycolysis (consumption of glucose). In 2016, Yoshinori Ohsumi won a Nobel Prize in the field of Physiology for his discoveries of the mechanics for autophagy. So this is real science. My sister in law got rid of her cancer by going on a carnivore diet. That’s meat, eggs and cheese. Heavy cream doesn’t have any carbohydrates either. She learned this from a video by Ken Berry MD. For a sweetener, use erythritol. It tastes like sugar and passes out in the urine. I wish I had known this when my dad came down with cancer. I understand your longing for heaven. We lost our son several years ago, and we miss him terribly.
