Systemic Thinking About Cancer with Dr. David Agus

These are a couple of videos I came across on TED and Khan Academy by Dr. David Agus, that I thought would be worthwhile sharing. They weren't exactly easy to find so they might be to some of you. Hope you find the information useful!

Too often, says David Agus cancer treatments have a short-sighted focus on individual cells. He suggests a new, cross-disciplinary approach, using atypical drugs, computer modeling and protein analysis to diagnose and treat the whole body. Listen to his TED talk: A New Strategy In The War on Cancer to hear what he has to do say about the need to "Think Differently" and find a new approach to stopping cancer.



After watching the above video I also found the following educational videos from Khan Academy by Dr Agus, which are really great for further understand systemic thinking and the effect of inflammation on the body as they relate to cancer. I thought these were better than the TED talk!
