Why curing cancer is so hard | Azra Raza | TEDxNewYork – coming to Town Hall 11/12

We spend $150 billion per year treating cancer, yet mortality rates from this disease remain largely unchanged from fifty years ago.

According to oncologist Azra Raza, our systems for treating cancer are fundamentally broken. In conversation with LeRoy Hood of the Institute for Systems Biology, she discusses her husband’s battle with leukemia and frames the medical and human difficulties of treating cancer. 

She will be speaking at Town Hall 11/12 at 7:30 PM.
