“Think of the billions upon billions of cells in the body that go through the orderly process of division. What makes a few cells go wild? It’s kind of like anarchy. What makes a cell disobey all natural laws? Finding the answer to that question is the key to finding a cure for cancer," said Dr. Martin, adding that he expected the solution to come in bits and pieces to be assembled much like a jigsaw puzzle and, like the old puzzle that's been sitting in grandma’s bookshelf for years, will always have a few holes in it, a few pieces missing.

In addition to early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Dr. Martin pointed out another important factor in any battle against cancer—the will to live. "It gives the patient a fighting chance,” he emphasized. To butress this will to live, family and friends have to provide the patient with emotional support, Martin noted. But the support mustn't be overdone, he added. “They want to be treated like normal human beings. They don’t want anything special.”

Martin acknowledged that he and his fellow doctors often forget this need for emotional support.
