Description
Part of the award winning public television series Healthy Body/Healthy Mind. “The hardest battle to fight is the one that should be the easiest but isn’t.” – Priscilla Savary, colon cancer patient educator. It begins as a polyp, a tiny ball of tissue that forms in your intestinal lining. Polyps are not cancer, but a certain percentage can become cancerous if left in place. That equation means if you do not already have colon cancer, the odds are in your favor of successfully avoiding it. Screening and removal of polyps can stop the cancer before it begins. And yet colon cancer is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in America, claiming some 56,000 victims each year. This show looks at the arc of colon cancer — from screening options and education, to the stages of cancer, to treatment options, to a new horizon of treatment and prevention – through the eyes of three patient/interview subjects and the health and medical experts that are our guides through each story. In some cases those medical experts are the actual physicians treating our patients. In other cases they are experts who can offer a look at the bigger picture of this disease.

AMC, acclaimed for both clinical and research achievements and experience in liver cancer treatment, was selected to serve as Asias first Continent Liver Cancer Medical Education Center. Physicians and staffers dealing with liver cancer treatment from the Departments of General Internal Medicine, Surgery and Radiology invited liver cancer specialists from across Asia and held PATH (Program for the Advancement of Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma) to introduce AMCs advanced treatment systems and share ideas on better treatment options. The program was carried out in 8 sessions for 3 days, bringing together 20 liver disease experts from China, India and Thailand and training them on cutting-edge liver cancer treatment plans offered by AMC. For the duration of the program, international physicians took a tour around operating rooms and observed radiotherapy procedures carried out in the Angiography Room of the Department of Radiology. This designation of a PATH education center is the fourth worldwide and the first in Asia. It is expected to provide momentum for AMC to strengthen its presence and promote its superior medical technologies in the global market.
