From the Paper:

"For most of human history a diagnosis of cancer meant death. There was no hope, there was no cure, and the person was simply told they were going to die. The death was usually slow and painful with many side effects along the way. In recent history however, advances in medical science has improved the cure rates of cancer and today a cancer diagnosis no longer has to mean automatic termination of life. The drugs used to fight the disease are potent and often have serious and sometimes life threatening complications."
