Later in the show: New forms of electro-magnetic treatments are fighting deadly melanoma and show promise against other cancers. Richard Heller (Old Dominion University) is a pioneer in the use of electro-gene-therapy and bio-electrics. Plus: There’s a whole field of cancer research devoted just to developing medications that can help ease the punch of chemotherapy side effects. Kimberly Lane (Radford University) and her student team are researching ways to ease the side effects of a potent chemotherapy drug used against with colon cancer.
