To be able to have the knowledge to help people would be amazing. But what would you do with that knowledge? Would you try to educate others and give them a chance to tell others? What a bout cells, how would you like to educate others by telling other people about themselves and how they work and make their body function.
The TED Talk by William Li was about how angiogenesis can cause a cancerous tumor to become a deadly cancer. If a cancer metastasizes because it became angiogenic and that is when the cancer becomes malignant (sends out hormone to the blood vessels for blood supply to 'fuel' the cancerous tumor). When you give your self an anti-angiogenesis treatment you are basically starving the cancerous tumor. You can also 'starve' your body fat if you are obese by eating anti-angiogenically.
My response to the TED Talk made me kind of upset, because one of my best friends' mom passed away from cancer and my aunt has lymphoma cancer and it has gotten very severe recently. This TED Talk made me upset because the awareness of this treatment is very small, compared to chemo or radiation, when it seems to have a better survival rate for certain cancers. I think that when people go to do a check up, it should be mandatory that the doctor talks about EVERY single way to treat cancer.
