Movie Reviews of Nova - Cancer Warrior
Movie Review: Great inspiring material
Summary: 5 Stars
Clear, inspiring and well narrated. This is the story of Dr. Judah Folkman's quest for a tumor growth inhibitor known as angiostatin.
The results on mouse were perfect. The ten mice the got the inibitor had their tumors resolved, while the ones that did not get the angiostatin had worsening tumors. On humans, it was a different story.. there was some success for some patients, but it was not as easy as a magic drug. Cancer is indeed complex.
However, if you read on the latest cancer drugs approved by the FDA today in 2005, you will find that most of them are statin based. A 10 year study of more than 30,000 men proved that people who take statin drugs to lower cholesterol have a lower prostate cancer risk. Breast cancer also found better numbers with statins.
The FDA just approved Avastin for colon cancer.. again this is a statin based drug.
Great true story.
