Summary
COI synopsis: Cancer is one of the taboo words of our century. It’s a major killer in urban society, but people hardly dare talk about it. Michele Brown visits a new radiotherapy centre in Liverpool where doctors are concerned to help the patients more by a psychological approach as well as treating the disease itself.
