Doctor Who Revolutionized Cancer Treatments Dies

This week, David Servan-Schreiber, the French-born physician, neuroscientist and author, died of brain cancer at the age of 50. For more than 20 years, David had been trying to revolutionize the way we treat cancer. When he was diagnosed at 31, he vowed if he survived, he would do whatever he could to change not just the patient experience, but the treatment procedures as well. And that’s exactly what he did. His best-selling book "Anticancer" combined everything he'd learned about mixing traditional and alternative medicines. When his cancer returned last year, he said, "Death is part of life. It happens to everyone. Profit from now, do the important things. I am convinced that 'Anticancer' has played an important role in the fact that I survived cancer for 19 years when the first diagnosis gave me only six at the most," according to the Los Angeles Times.
