Hey, Chris you seem really focused. What's on your mind? |
|
|
Oh, I've been studying chemotherapy, Mary. The way medical science has advanced in the fight against caner and the significant role of chemotheraphy in that field have drawn my attention. |
|
|
You're right. Actually, the evolution of chemotheraphy has a unique background. What caught your interest? |
|
|
Well, it all started with the use of chemical warfare agents during World War 2. Soldiers exposed to mustard gas showed a decrease in white blood cell count, which sparked the idea of exploring these chemicals for cancer treatment. |

Yeah, it was unfortunate, but also it was an unexpected beginnin for such a crucial aspect of cancer therapy. |
