INTERVIEWER: Can
you say when cancer

will be eliminated, when it
will be controlled altogether?

I can say this, that it is
my belief that cancer can be

controlled, that the amount
of knowledge we now have

from basic science and
from clinical investigation

permits this feeling
of controlled optimism.

Given the scientific
brain power,

which we see active today,
given resources and equipment,

support for such work,
I believe that very

rapid progress can be made.

And I believe
firmly that there is

enough knowledge today to
warrant an optimistic outlook.

RESEARCHER: Cancer is not
our inherent birthright

simply because we're people.

This comes from many studies
which show that up to 95%

of our cancers are extrinsic.

That is, they're not due to our
inheritance or to our genetics.

They're due to
something that happens,

something that
we're exposed to.

And here we are.

There you go.

Good bunny.

Now, Lily, remember
what I promised you.

This won't hurt bunny one bit.

♪ ♪

Good boy.

You're all right.

Neuroblastoma is one of the
most common tumors in peds

with dismal treatment results.

One reason for this failure may
be due to the natural history

of the tumor, as
70% of children

already have metastases
at the time of diagnosis.

So, in general, 2/3 of patients
with neuroblastoma are beyond

the bounds of curative
surgery and radiation therapy,

which brings me to.

chemotherapy.

Now, I know opinions vary
on the value of chemotherapy

in patients with
localized disease.

But some such as
myself, believe

it may suppress microscopic
distant metastases

in a fashion similar to
actinomycin D in Wilms Tumors.

What's that look for?

Yes, I know I'll
have a mixed crowd,

but they should be
able to keep up.

Hmm?

All right, all right.

JEREMY LEWIS: Trained
at the Royal College

of Surgeons and Johns Hopkins,
headed hematology and oncology

at the University of Chicago.

And worked under the Sidney
Farber at Boston Children's.

Oh, and was a
Fulbright scholar.

Did I miss anything?

Save the
commentary, Dr. Lewis.

The floor is yours, Dr. Evans.

As you know, the three
major killers of our children

are congenital heart disease,
trauma, and cancer, which has

a survival rate of just 10%.

I have bold ideas on
neuroblastoma, the deadliest

solid tumor in peds.

Our standard therapy regimens
of single agent chemotherapy,

surgery, and
radiation are simply

not aggressive enough to
handle such a sinister disease.

I have been tracking
a new method called

combination chemotherapy,
mixing approved medicines

in low doses.

It has shown to be tremendously
successful in leukemia

patients, and I think
could be equally

beneficial for neuroblastoma.

The genomic and metabolic
patterns of blood cancers

in a peripheral nervous system
tumor, apples and oranges.

Of course.

But cyclophosphamide
shrinks the cells.

Vincristine slows the spread.

Together, they would attack
the cancer from all sides.

It's common sense, really.

Cyclophosphamide
can also cause bladder

bleeding and infertility.

Vincristine can cause
compromised motor skills,

seizures, neuropathic pain.

It feels as like a lot--

And if we do nothing,
the child likely dies.

I'll need to create an animal
model to know for certain,

but if correct, we
could change the way we

treat children in mere months.

Add it to the queue.

The queue?

You'll be able to apply
for funding in about a year.

My children
don't have a year.

Are you saying your patients
are more important than theirs?

That's enough.

Seeing if she has
a sense of humor.

I hardly see the comedy.

Well, that's because
he's not funny.

[LAUGHTER]

All right.

Are you going to stand
for the entire meeting?

Very good.

Bob, you're up.

I realize that.

But you said that I could
continue my research here.

We had an agreement.
- We still do.

A year is too long.

It can be
frustrating, I know.

Frustrating is when my
daisies wilt in the summer.

How long did your study on
transfusion of fresh platelet

concentrates for patients
with secondary cytopenia took?

Two years.

Mhm.

And how about your clinical
trial on the effects of

vincristine in the treatment
of leukemia patients?

15 months?

I'm a department head now.

All the more reason
to set a good example.

You're tying my hands.

You wanted the job.

You took the job.

Now do the job.

Oh, and I don't want to
hear any more about lab

animals in patient facilities.

CHOP is not a zoo.

You need to go this way.

All right.

I want my mommy.

Mia.

Now, I promise this
will just take a moment.

We're going to

Look at Mr. Bear.

He's going to watch you get

No.

Please, don't.

Mia, it will be all right.

Just try to stop squirming.

No.

Absolutely not.

We do not use those.

He'll take the straps
off if you stop--

This is protocol.

Would you let me
do my job, please?

ALVIN: So why don't you just
tell me how it happened?

MOM: I already told you.

We had an argument
off the roundabout.

ALVIN: I heard you say that.

MOM: You disparage
my parenting and then

act like I'm the crazy one.

It is a talent.

I do apologize for the delay.

The X-rays took some time.

Where is she?

Is she OK?

There's no good
way to say this.

I'm afraid Mia
has neuroblastoma,

an aggressive form of cancer.

That's impossible.

Mia was completely
fine just days ago.

Alvin, tell her.

She's fine.

Unfortunately, a patient

to minimize side effects,

it could be very substantial.

And if this was my son, I

He was just born.

This can't be it, right?

No.

Dr. Lewis's
assessment is valid,

but there is still a chance.

The doses of chemotherapy
that have been applied so far

are the lowest available.

Because he's a baby.

There is room to increase
the doses should Charlie

be responding, which he is.

You have a choice.

I said no.

Mia, please.

MIA: I don't want to be poked.

What if I show

You talk funny.

Whatever do you mean?

Mia or Philadelphia?

Shall I give thee

or shall I give it

Hmm?
Yoo hoo.

Is there anybody who
would like Mia's medicine?

No.
I want my magic medicine.

Ah.

Well, seeing as you
asked so nicely,

I think we can arrange that.

Shall we count to three?

One, two, say magic medicine.

There we go.

That was rather good,

- Oh, it works half the time.
- And the other half?

What else have you

The cure to cancer?

Slow and steady

We can do better than that.

Thanks, Ray.

Good afternoon.

Jarva Pharmaceuticals.

How may I-- miss, you

Miss.

Miss, you're not
allowed back there.

Miss.

Miss, they are in a meeting.

MAN: Jarva Pharmaceuticals.

We allocate resources
to develop these-- whoa.

Who-- who are you?

Dr. Audrey Evans, head of
pediatric oncology at CHOP.

I'm sorry, sir.
She didn't--

It's all right.

I'd like to speak with
you about sponsoring

a groundbreaking new
research study with two

of your chemotherapy drugs.

We're in the middle of--

Hold on a moment.

Continue.

The proposal
suggests applying

cyclophosphamide and
vincristine in low doses

in combination to
combat neuroblastoma.

I've laid out the projected
expenses there on page three.

The mice, the
resources, and the drugs

will cost you $350,000.

How much?

That's a lot of money.

I know.

But if this works,
not only will we save

lives, but it will positively
impact your bottom line.

Imagine how many
chemotherapy drugs

you'll sell if it becomes
commonplace to use

two instead of one.

We're ready,
Dr. Chicken Koop.

Oh, you think so, huh?

All right.

Let's get out here
in the hallway.

I'm going to win this race.

Right out the
door, both of you.

There you are.

All right.

Come on.
Right down the hall.

[CHICKEN NOISES] All right.

Runners, stand.

Ready, set, go.

[LAUGHTER]

She got Jarva Pharmaceuticals
to sponsor her study.

She did?

Do you know what that means?

I don't have all the facts.

Why does that matter?

It's as if the
rules don't apply.

She's making a complete
mockery out of all of us.

Have you finished your
citations for your paper

on bone marrow transplants?

Have I finished my-- no, I
haven't, but I've been on--

Well, do your work, Jeremy.

Under no circumstances are
you to hurt the mice more

than absolutely necessary.

Animals are living beings,
and thus we treat them

politely and with respect.

[SNICKERING]

Thank you very much.

You may leave.

MAN: I didn't mean to--

Anyone else find this funny?

Absolutely not.

These are the
standards that Jarva

demands, and so do I. We do not
do tail injections in my lab.

If that was part of your
training, unlearn it.

It causes unnecessary
discomfort to the mice

and has a higher risk
of extravasation.

We exclusively do
retrobulbar sinus injections.

Be extremely careful.

Excessive pressure to the neck
and the surrounding vessels

can impede blood flow or
worse, collapse the trachea.

Now then, like so.

And finally, we give thanks
to our little friends

for their service
to the greater good.

Who's first?

What are you thinking?

At the moment?

Whether I really want
that sandwich or I

want to skip to dessert.

JEREMY LEWIS: You
went to Jarva.

Ah, that.

Yes, that.

If I use smaller
batches of mice,

we can get another
study in there.

Jarva committed up to $1
million for a new study here.

That could have gone
to Bob's congenital heart

A million?

disease proposal or Stanley's
whooping cough study.

But instead, we are stuck
with a chemotherapy study

at a third of the price
with drugs we already use.

But not in combination.

It's about--

I really have to
get on with this.

You took their bait.

And the neck tumors, they

You're suggesting
location is a major factor

in how patients respond.

And that we should tailor
treatment accordingly.

treatment to each child's

unique diagnosis and pave a
brighter future for the Mias

that we treat every day.

Dr. Audrey Evans, who was
recently recruited by this

institution as chief
of pediatric oncology,

has violated hospital rules by
applying chemotherapy agents

in unapproved combinations to
seven-year-old cancer patient

Miss Mia McAlister, correct?

After seeing significant
progress in animal research,

yes, I applied targeted
combination chemotherapy

to a dire patient.

Yes or no will be fine.

Dr. Evans' actions
have violated hospital

codes 301, 373, and 546.

The codes are as follows, not
gaining appropriate permissions

on a clinical trial,
exposing the hospital

to a potential lawsuit,
and the worst infraction,

endangering a patient.

Dr. Evans, you now
have a chance to tell

your side of the story.

I have worked at
the most prestigious

institutions all
over the world and

trained under Sidney Farber.

We have your resume.

We just need to understand
why you changed Mia's therapy.

Mia is what I classify
as an extreme case.

Her tumor had already
spread from the abdomen

into the bone marrow.

Our standard therapies are
not targeted nor strong enough

to combat such a scenario.

And what made you think
your new method would work?

Applying chemotherapies
in combination

has a track record of
success in leukemia patients.

But Mia has neuroblastoma.

AUDREY EVANS: Often
one can infer patterns.

That alone is not
reason enough to act.

But coupled with a mice study
and a new staging system--

A staging system?

AUDREY EVANS: I
and my colleagues

have reason to
believe that tumors

respond differently based on a
number of prognostic factors.

We can no longer treat
all children the same.

Please submit the staging
system to the board for review.

I need more data to
complete it with certainty.

So after getting short-term
lab-based data and using

an incomplete staging
system, you changed

a patient's treatment
to a therapy

regimen that lacks any prior
clinical trial or permissions.

Dr. Evans, no one here is
doubting your talent or

your impressive credentials.

I do not envy the
work that you do.

In fact, I empathize and
even understand why you

acted the way that you did.

Any person might do the same.

But you are not any person.

You are a doctor.

And if we keep you,
we would be endorsing

DAN D'ANGIO: Not
a great prognosis.

Stage four, the tumor goes
across the middle of the body

as the brain and bone marrow.

bad prognosis.

And then this

that looks like stage
four, but then the tumor

spontaneously regresses.

children under the age of one.

And if the cancer
spreads, then it

must be contained
to the liver, bone

marrow, skin,
and/or lymph nodes,

but only on one
side of the body.

AUDREY EVANS: That's right.

We should call it 4S for
spontaneous regression.

AUDREY EVANS: Yes.

[HOPEFUL MUSIC]

We did it.

That's it.

We did it.

My children count on me.

They laugh with me.

They cry with me.

And sometimes I'm
the last person

they see before their
journey to heaven.

They look to me to
have all the answers.

But what am I supposed to
do when I don't have them?

Should I just accept that
that's how things are,

or do I fight with everything
I've got to change that?

As sorry as I am for
the trouble I've caused,

I'm not sorry for doing what I
know is right for my children

because they're
your children too.

And they're counting on us,
each and every one of us,

to figure this out, to
rise to the occasion

and figure this out.

We owe it to them
to do just that.

After reviewing all the
facts and the new data

provided by Dr.
C. Everett Koop,

we have decided to allow you

Good.

I hesitate to ask,
but what new data?

It pertains to Mia
McAlister most recent scans.

Is she OK?
