As told by our speaker, Duke radiation oncologist Stacy Wentworth, Less Radical is the story of Dr. Bernie Fisher, the surgeon-scientist who not only revolutionized breast cancer treatment, but also fundamentally changed the way we understand all cancers. At the end of his life, a performative, misguided Congressional hearing destroyed his reputation and haunted him until his death, a breathtaking attack on science that we are seeing repeated today. Dr. Wentworth will describe how for anyone who has had breast cancer, Bernie is a part of their story- and they're a part of his.
