Fully supervised by Makoto Kondo, a maverick in the medical world who overturned the conventional wisdom of Japanese medical care with “Patients, Don’t Fight Cancer” and continues to provoke the Japanese medical community and the public through his numerous books and statements!
Many super doctors and god hand surgeons appear in TV dramas and documentaries. Of course, they aren’t perfect. However, patients and their families cling to them and worship them like gods. In many cases, the quality of life deteriorates due to extra surgeries and excessive anti-cancer treatment, resulting in premature death. Even so, those around her are convinced that “that doctor didn’t work either…” and do not question the doctor.
So, what is the ideal cancer treatment? Through this work with a seemingly radical title, we will search for the answer. Through this work, I would like to think together with readers about the state of medical care in this country, including cancer treatment.
