Legend! Part 2 of 2: The Unfathomable Hope and Drive to Cure Cancer Dr Azra Raza

from The Dov Baron Show · host Dov Baron

Few adults on the planet have not been touched, either directly or indirectly, by cancer. It's one of the things many people see as an inevitable part of life that they hope and pray does not visit directly onto their own life. But what about the oncologists who work with cancer patients every day? Dr. Azra Raza is a cancer specialist who has dedicated her life to pioneering the understanding of cancer and, most importantly, its earliest detection. Despite the weight of her work, Dr. Raza has never lost sight of her clear intention: to cure cancer. She immigrated to the U.S. from Karachi, Pakistan, and has since been featured in high-profile outlets like The New York Times, The Guardian, The Times, The Smithsonian, and more. She was even invited to the dining room of President Joe Biden's home at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., with a handful of other cancer specialists to offer their perspectives on the current cancer landscape, which contributed to shaping what is now known as the "Cancer Moonshot." Dr. Raza's latest bestselling book, "THE FIRST CELL," is a searing account of how medicine and our society (mis)treat cancer, how we can do better, and why we must. Her life is devoted to early detection and prevention of cancer. Imagine the grief of being an oncologist, working with people 70% of whom you will walk to their death. Dr. Raza has not only watched people die but has also discovered that the love of her life, another oncologist, was diagnosed with untreatable cancer, and she had to walk them through to the end. This would make most of us want to crawl into a hole and never return, but not Dr. Raza. She is a true inspiration to us all and a reminder that one person can make a difference in the fight against cancer.
