All cancers are the result of a normal cell that changes into a cancer cell and then propagates uncontrollably. In easy-to-understand language using examples from everyday life, learn about what can go wrong and the built-in defenses we have.

Hear how the cancer treatments developed over the last 80 years are related to the processes that caused the original transformation to cancer and the subsequent effects of those processes.
