Episode #10 - Cancer is a low-down, dirty gangster ninja

from Signal · host Stat

Cancer plays dirty. Like a gangster. That's how it wins. Over the past few years, scientists have been learning its tricks and tactics. They've learned that it’s a master of adaptation, of escape, of armor, and of stealth -- so maybe it's more of a disease ninja than disease gangster. Maybe you should listen and decide for yourself.
