Cancer (1956-03-29)
About this film
Dr. Rutstein points out that cancer is many diseases -- not just one -- depending on the organ of the body and the cells involved. Although cancer is a serious disease, it often causes more alarm than is warranted by the facts, he indicates. Using graphs, Dr. Rutstein discusses certain kinds of cancers which are being controlled. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
