essay contest is open to current UNDERGRADUATE and GRADUATE students enrolled in a college or

university located in the United States The essay must be no fewer than 700 and no more than 1,500 words

in length and should address some or all of the following questions: Should cancer patients and doctors be

able to use whatever treatments they like in treating cancer? Why? What are some examples of “alternative

therapies” and why do cancer patients use them when they are not FDA approved? Should medicinal medicine

and folk medicine have any relevancy in cancer? It is estimated that it costs over $400 million to bring a new

cancer drug to market. Does that establish roadblocks for the testing and approval of alternative therapies?

What changes or improvements should be made in our healthcare system and the way we treat cancer in this

country so that cancer is no longer the leading cause of death in Americans under age 85? For more information
