As the District=E2=80=99s only stand-alone cancer suppor= t organization, we at Smith Center for Healing and the Arts applaud the coverage of this important issue.

For almost every type of cancer, there are now dozens of potential treatments, in what are often hundreds of combinations. And, what is infinitely worse, these treatments can be lined up one after the other in a seamless row so that when one treatment fails, a doctor and patient simply step up to the next one. It's gotten so that it's almost impossible to stop treating cancer, because doing so means saying "no" to the next treatment that is ready and waiting. By David Casarett.
