"At Duke, there is hope" More than 27 million people watched this spring as the CBS program 60 Minutes ran a rare double-length feature on the Duke Brain Tumor Center. Following three patients over many months, the segment focused on how the center's aggressive use of experimental therapies is saving lives—and stirring up controversy among those who advocate more conservative treatments. "Most physicians believe that patients with many kinds of brain tumors are so hopeless as to offer them nothing," co-director Henry Friedman, MD, James B. Powell Professor of Neuro-Oncology, told correspondent Ed Bradley. "We give [patients] the motto that we stand by, which is 'At Duke, there is hope.'" The story, which illustrated the dedication of the entire medical center to lifesaving care and research, evoked a flood of inquiries from cancer patients and others.
