Welcome everybody. It's the Radio Surgery Show with Doctor Gil Leiderman, MD, New York's only Harvard trained triple board certified radiation oncologist who brings you the latest cancer treatment news, interviewing world renowned cancer experts, delving to special cases, and of course answering your questions. I'm Rob Redstone, broadcasting from the WR Studios in the heart of New York City. And now please welcome doctor Leaderman. This is doctor Leiderman. And thank you Rob, Thank you Noah who
runs this program. Thank you Perry Stubbs who sang that beautiful song. It was a beautiful, beautiful opera singer and musician and teacher and came to us with this terrible cancer and you can read about it on our posters or on our booklets. And he wanted to make a song. He used to come when he had treatment. He would sing opera to patience in the waiting room, and his wife, equally beautiful and equally wonderful voice would sing with him
opera and famous tunes with this most beautiful voice. And when he offered to write a song about his experience here at Radio Surgeon New York, I took him up on it. And luckily, as you'd expect, it's beautiful, and luckily, as you might hope, he's cancer free. And he explained that in his song, and many, many people in the music world come here because they know this gentleman who's got such a voice and such a story, and he just did not want to have surgery on his throat and his
neck and his nerves that might damage his voice. And he came to doctor Liederman after being at super due for places that wanted to cut on his neck and cut near his voice box, and he just didn't want that. He came here and now is cancer free, doing great singing, teaching, musician, entertaining, bringing happiness and gladness to audiences around the world. So thank you Perry and his wife, so beautiful and great singer. Thank you so
much. And I'm the leader, But I want to start out with a very important article, an article that really hits the nail on the head, and something I speak about all the time, and unfortunately I'm the usual only voice talking about how so often, not always, but so often chemotherapy is given with people not understanding why the heck they're getting chemotherapy, and I talk
about it all the time. I talk about most chemotherapy, not all chemotherapy, but most chemotherapy is given to patients endlessly especially in this setting of recurrent cancers or stage four cancers with no hope of cure, no hope of cure, only a hope that the cancer might respond for a few weeks or months until it then relapses. And for most all these cancers, the cancers almost
always relapse after chemotherapy. And I'm here sitting hitting my head against the wall, wondering why the heck are so many people taking such a treatment with so many side effects that cost one hundred or two hundred thousand dollars a year. Yeah, you heard that right, one hundred or two hundred thousand dollars a year. That's great for the drug companies and great for the hospitals, and great for the doctors, but it may not be so great for the patient.
And I've been explaining that compared to radiosurgery, when we attack a cancer in a particular place, we aim the beam and hit the cancer ninety percent chance, that's our data overall, ninety percent chance the cancer will stop or shrink or go away and never need further tree there for the rest of the
patient's life. So it's such a huge difference. I want to talk about an article that just appeared by two authors, Kimberly Kopecki and Toby Campbell, in a journal called The Oncologists. This is a medical journal published by Oxford and just appeared from the Department of Surgery and Division of Hematology Oncology in two
famous hospitals in America. And they start out the article, I read to you a staggering sixty nine percent of patients receiving non curative chemotherapy for metastatic lung cancer and fifty percent of people receiving chemotherapy for advanced gastroesophageo cancers, liver cancers, billary cancers, or pancrease cancers report that the goal of therapy was to cure the cancer. Eighty one percent of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer believed that
chemotherapy was to cure the cancer. And they say, why does this disconnect exist and what might we do about it? Why? Because the goal is not to cure the patient. But patients are being confused by their doctors. When doctors say, oh, it's powative therapy. Most patients don't understand that word means non curative. Why aren't the doctors cancer doctors being clear and saying,
look, you've got a cancer that cannot be cured with chemotherapy. If you want chemotherapy, that might slow it down for a few weeks or a few months before it grows back. That's why you might want to take chemotherapy. But understand, with chemotherapy, most chemotherapies have side effects because it's kind of putting up poison in your body, like putting your body in a bathtub of poison and expecting nothing bad to happen. I can tell you, for
most people, something bad does happen. And as his authors point out, why do doctors not tell patients directly what's going on? When doctors and they say this quote the article, the word pallative is routinely used in discussion with patients and their families, despite the fact that the majority of patients are unfamiliar with what pawative means. Do you know what powative means? If you're getting treatment, oh, we're gonna give you a powative therapy, it means we're
not gonna cure you. We're not even gonna try to cure you. It's not possible. That's what they mean. But the doctor, rather than saying, hey, missus Jones, We're gonna give you a powat of therapy. They make it sound so fantastic. I've had patients come in and say, doctor Liederman, can you give me palwative therapy? Powat of therapy means non
curative therapy. It's exactly what most people don't want. Most people want curative therapy if they can have it. And the authors go on to say, when ambiguous terminology is used, the need to communicate a bad prognosis can be avoided. So maybe, and I think it's true that doctors don't really want to tell patients directly what the truth is that the treatment will not cure the cancer. Why don't they have the strength and the stamina and the backbone to
tell the patients the truth? What do you use these words that most patients just don't understand? And the authors go on to say, for patients, the use of unclear language can propagate uncertainty regarding the indications for treatment and allow them to imagine that what they're getting desperately hoping for cure is actually a shared goal when it isn't. The patients might hope for cure, but the doctors aren't even offering that, and they're obscuring that with bad language that most patients
don't understand. And the authors go on to say, we recommend a single word substitute to call it what it is, to say, this is non curative therapy instead of pawative therapy. Most people don't know what powative is, but most people do know what non cure means. We're not going to cure you. Why don't the chemotherapy doctors and some surgeons and others use that word. Why are they being Why are they fudging their life language to obscure the
patients? And the author is going to say, why does it matter? Before a patient can make decisions, set goals, or cope with the reality of a new cancer diagnosis, they need first to understand the recommended treatment plan and how to recognize how it is and how it's not expected to alter the course of the disease. Is it to cure the patient or not? Pawative
means not to cure the patient. And the author's going to say this information is particularly essential given that cancer treatment options are related with side effects like about chemo side effects, fatigue, nausea, neutropenia, neuropathy, anorexia, infections, and complications from surgery and other chemotherapies. When clinicians use language that patients in their families here non curative in place of pallative, discussion is facilitated towards
what are the expectations? If doctor, you're not going to cure me, what are you going to do to me? And how terrible are the side Effects's going to say? When the goals of a particular therapy are communicated clearly to live longer, feel better, or prevent disability, patients are empowered to consider the balance of anticipated side effects and the possible benefits of palliative interventions. And the authors go on to say, is there enough data to support the
notion that non curative cancer treatments universally alleviate symptoms caused by cancer? And the authors say no, there's no data to support the notion that non curative treatments universally alleviate symptoms. So why do people take it? Why do many so many people take chemotherapy when it doesn't cure, has so many fire to the side effects, is so costly, and often the number one cause for bankruptcy in medical cases is cancer. Because chemotherapy one hundred and twohore thousand dollars a
year. You're talking about huge expenses. Some people mortgage their car and sell their house and other things to live a few more weeks or months, so their whole family is indebted for the rest of their lives too. The authors go on to say, we believe that the routine use of non curative rather than pallative is accurate and clear while appropriately respecting patients autonomy regarding the disclosure of prognosis. And this is what's so important. The authors conclude, it's been
suggested that structured communication can overcome the ambiguity of the term palliative chemotherapy. We advocate for a simpler approach. Call it what it is, non curative, and there you have it. In a nutshell. Authors from two famous medical universities, Kimberly Kopecki and Toby Campbell, are calling it out. Why so many people are taking chemotherapy without even knowing why they're taking Up to eighty one
percent of people are taking chemotherapy without even knowing why they're taking it. Would you do that? Would you recommend a loved one do that? Or would you come here? Will we actually tell people what's your disease, and what's your stage, and what's the purpose of treatment? And so often, and I'm a chemotherapy doctor. I'm a board certified chemotherapy doctor, treated thousands of
patients on the staff at one of the biggest cancer centers in America. And I'm happy because I want to be honest with my patients about telling them what stage you have and the goal of treatment, and not to be ambiguous when it's so important, when it has to do with the life of a patient. My name is doctor Liederman, Cancer Doctor, thirteen eighty four Broadway Broadway in thirty eighth Street. Where we see patients with new and recurrent cancers.

to have the clearly best knowledge and best options at the beginning. And we see patients the third category, patients who have been treated and the treatments is not going as expected, usually for the reasons I've said that doctors elsewhere are being ambiguous about the purpose of treatment and being ambiguous about the side effects. And then when the patients have cancer that grows back and the side effects are
terrible, they come here wanting a fresh approach, wanting clear language.

Welcome back to the radio Surgery Hour. This is Rob Redstone here with doctor gil Leiderman at the WR Studios in the hearts of New York City. For just a few steps from the radiosurgery in New York Cancer Treatment Center on Broadway in thirty eighth Street. Doctor Leader, the leading
cancer expert, treats prostate cancer not inviasibly. He was the first in New York with fractionated brain radio surgery, and he's the first in America and in the Western Hemisphere with body radiosurgery. You can also call doctor Liederman at two and two choices for a free informative booklet and DVD. Hey doctor Liederman, We're back, We are back. I want to talk about a man from
Jamaica. The Caribbean people sad to say, have lots of cancer. The ambassador came here asking us to help, and we certainly help everyone who needs that help or cancer treatment. This is a man who came eight years ago. He's sixty seven years old, he's married. He's a black man. And I said that because in the black community, one in six black men get prostate cancer. One in twenty three die of prostate cancer. He has
high blood pressure and diabetes. He stopped taking his blood pressure medicines, which is not great. We helped him out with that. His PSA was going up, his sugar was hives on diabetes medicines, and he had a family history. He had a family his way to your father had prostate cancer, and he wanted to come. He wanted to get checked out, and we checked him out and we found indeed he had prostate cancer just like his dad. You don't have to have a family history. Somebody wile say, oh,
I'm safe, I don't have a family history. No. Ninety percent of people who have cancer don't have a family history. It's a rare one like this man whose father had cancer and now he has the same prostate cancer. So we found a kidney. Excuse me get ahead of myself. We found a prostate cancer in him. Eight years ago. He offered treatment and he did not want surgery. He didn't want cutting bleeding, he didn't want shortening of his vital organ. He knew with surgery open or robotic surgery,
that most likely his sex life would be done. He'd lose control of the urine or have urinary leakage, and he'd have shortening of his vital organ. He didn't want that. He didn't want radical surgery. That's why he came eight years ago. And eight years later he is PSA is zero and he's doing great. When he came to us, he had a glease in seven, so higher risk PSA nine prostate cancer. Now eight years later, cancer free, and he came for follow up. Many people say, doctor Liederman,
and how do you follow the patient? You just treat them and then they never see you again. No, we see patients for the rest of their life, for the rest of their life, and it's so important. This man came, he got checked out, and about three years ago he came. We checked out his urine, he had blood in the urine. We checked out the cause of the bleeding, and we found a kidney cancer.
So he's had now two cancers, prostate cancer, which was treated successfully with radiosurgery here with our unique program, and we know for glease in seven cancer our success rate is ninety percent versus sixty percent with other radiation, standard radiation or surgery. And now he has a kidney cancer and he just did not want his kidney removed. We got a biopsy of the kidney to prove it was cancer, offered him all the options. I sent him to urologists
for surgery. He just did not want his kidney thrown in a bucket. He wanted to be treated with us like he was treated for the prostate with a big success. And now he's been treated for two big cancers, prostate cancer eight years ago, intermission PSA now zero, and kidney cancer found when we checked him out. So it's so important to come for follow ups. It's so important. And this is the work that we do every day.
We've treated thousands of people with kidney cancers over decades. So many people are never told the options. You think, well, hey, doctor's supposed to tell you all the options. Doctor supposed to tell you, hey, you could do this or that or the next thing. You could have surgery or some form of surgery or intervention, or he could have radio surgery, or it could do nothing or chemo whatever. Most doctors had to say to say, oh, you have a kidney cancer, you have to remove it without
even a biopsy. And I can tell you about ten percent of the people we see with kidney cancer when we do a biopsy don't even have kidney cancer. They don't need any treatment. It's just a view on a scan, but no real cancer. So there's lots of benefits in coming here to learn
all the options, to learn about invasive options or non invasive options. Like this man who did not want his prostate removed eight years ago and now is PSA zero and did not want his kidney removed when he had kidney cancer a second different unrelated cancer and now both are in remission and he is doing great and I can take he's very happy, and he comes on a regular basis why to make sure that he's AOKA, And he's learned the benefit of coming
for follow up. He's learned that we checked the patient and examine the patient, get testing, and this is what we do every day at thirteen eighty four Broadway Broadway in thirty eighth Street in the heart of New York City. We're talking with a man who's from North Carolina. He's fifty seven years old, he's married, he's got three children. He's got twins and a nineteen year year old. He presented with prostate cancer. His PSA was going up,
up, up, went up to eleven PSA. That's the prostatic specific energen blood test, which every man should know what their PSA is. He had a biopsy, had gleas in six, multiple cores positive, and he was planned for surgery. He came to me on the tenth and he was scheduled for surgery on the twentieth. And when he found out that our success
rate was ninety percent for intermediate risk cancer and surgery was sixty percent. And with surgery there's ninety seven percent of the men losing the erections, eighty percent losing control of the urine and shortening of the penis, which he was never told by the surgeon. He was never told that he saw me on the tenth, he was scheduled for the twentieth. This is all three years ago, by the way, he canceled the surgery. He came to us.
He was treated three years ago for this cancer and now his PSA is zero, He's cancer free. He is so happy he canceled that surgery. And often tell people have many people call say, oh, I have surgery tomorrow. I say, well, if you want a second opinion, you can come here. You can either come here today or you can cancel the surgery. You can postpone it a week if you want to learn about all the options which might well save your life and save your quality of life and avoid
radical surgery. And radical surgery. Some people die during radical surgery, have complications. And he's got this lifelong low platelet count, so as a disease of his play Let's imagine that he had major surgery with a low playle atcount and he started bleeding. So different than radiosurgery, so different than our treatment. And this is the work that we do every day at thirteen eighty four Broadway Broadway in thirty eighth Street, in the heart of New York City.
My name is doctor Liederman. I want you to get a paper in pencil, handy, because I'm going to tell you some things you might want to know about. And I want to tell you about one more patient Before I do that, I want to tell you about a man who came to his just about two weeks ago. He came with prostatism, frequent urination, urinary retention, which means he could not urinate. He was declining any biopsy. He came with no records. It's from New Jersey, seventy four years old.
He's single, without any children. He said, urinary infections. He had bladder retention for more than a year. That means that the catheter was placed through the penis into the bladder so he could urinate at one of the big institutions in the neighboring state. He didn't even know his PSA. He was going to his big institution. No one ever told him with all these prostate problems what his PSA was. He urinates four times a night. He
feels like he has incomplete emptying of the bladder. He also has frequent urination in the daytime. He had colonoscopy done twice, the most recent was eight years ago. We check on that most every patient his way is stable and I examined him and he had this huge prostate cancer like a hardball into his So we had Sulkers Di Salkus Rockhart prostate highly suspicious for cancer we tested his
jurine. He had two separate infections. He had a bacteria infection and he had a yeast infection, and his PSA was twenty five, which means most likely as prostate cancer. Well, we knew that with a physical exam, and we confirmed it with the PSA and now we're ranging for an ameri of the prostate. We're ranging for a biopsy of him. And he'd ben going to one of the major hospitals with all these symptoms and none of the doctors ever told him about the PSA. Maybe they didn't even do it. We
looked through the records, we couldn't find any evidence of that. Never got an MRI, never got a biopsy. This is how we are so different. Why so many people come here for evaluation and treatment, and that's what he's doing. He's coming here because he trusts and he just doesn't trust the other place when he's been seen for years and they never told him about the pa Most likely his PSA has been rising over years. Now it's twenty five.
Normal PSA is four. You would have think he had been told when his PSA was four or five or six or ten or fifteen or twenty. No, he was never told until he came here. And now we're taking the bull by the horns. We're arranging first of all, to treat his infection, double infection, getting the MRI, and arranging a biopsy so that he knows what's really going on in his body. Why his prostates rock hard? Why is PSA so high? This is the work that we do every
day at thirteen eighty four Broadway in the heart of New York City. Here for you, and I told you before I've been to introduce myself. I want to do that so you know who's talking. So often people talking and you just don't know who they are, what their credentials are. Are they hiding things? Are they hiding that chemotherapy is not curative for you? Are your loved one or your friend or your neighbor. Well, we like to tell the straight dope here, and sometimes it's hard for patients to hear the
straight dope. But I think it's better for people to know the truth than just to be getting chemotherapy and you think you're going to be cured, and no, there's no intent of cure whatsoever. Why would the doctor insinuate that? Why anyway, I'm doctor Liederman. I was born and raised in Waterloo,
Io. Went to public school, University MD at twenty five, real doctor MD at twenty five, just like my brother Ted, my illustrious brother, Ted Leaderman, MD at twenty five, and doctor Ario Leaderman, my son, who's here, Board certified, trained at the most illustrious hospitals and universities in America. Here, Board certified cancer doctor, loved by his patients
and the families and the staff and everyone he touches. He's because he's thoughtful and caring, and patients are very very, very very lucky to have doctor
Ario Leaderman be their doctor. I after MD at twenty five, went to University of Chicago Michael Rees trained in internal medicine, Board certified after treating thousands of patients with medical conditions, then went on to Harvard Medical School Dana Harbord Cancer suit trained treating thousands of people with cancers, and stayed on the staff at Harvard Medical School and then also at Harvard Medical School at the illustrious Joint

This is Rob Redstone here with doctor Gil Liederman at the w R Studios
in the hearts of New York City. Were just a few steps from the Radio Surgery in New York Cancer Treatment Center on Broadway in thirty eighth Street. Doctor Liederman, the leading cancer expert, treats prostate cancer not invasively. He was the first in New York with fractionated brain radio surgery, and he's the first in America and in the Western Hemisphere with body radio surgery. You can also call doctor Liederman at two and two choices for a free informative booklet and
DVD. Hey, doctor Liederman, we're back. We are back. This is doctor Liederman. Let's speak about a fifty six year old man. This is a hero policeman. He's a policeman who captured one of the suspects that was going to drop a bomb in Times Square several years ago. So he's a hero policeman. And now he came to us with a mass and the neck. He'd been at one of the biggest hospitals in New York City for two months. For two months they diagnosed this, they diagnosed him with Hodgkins
disease but wouldn't treat him. He had two conditions, one of the Hodgkins lymphoma in the neck, which is a cancer, and then he had a fistula, had a hole between his rectum and his bladder, and they wouldn't treat the hole between the rector and bladder, and they wouldn't treat the cancer
without treating the hole between his bladder and his erectum. Because he said chemotherapy could kill him, well, chemotherapy could kill anybody, And because he had this fistula, they wouldn't give him chemo and they didn't tell him all the options. Here we go again, is that one of the biggest, most famous, prestigious hospitals in New York City, they wouldn't tell him the options, they wouldn't treat him. They kept him in the hospitalso thousands, tens
of thousands of dollars of income and didn't do anything. They put a needle into his neck, which would have taken about five minutes, and he was
there for two months. And he's so angry about it. And a radio listener like you like so often radio listeners save lives, and a radio listener said, hey, why don't you go see doctor Liederman, And he came in with his story in this beautiful story and a picture of himself with his colleagues in Times Square apprehending this terrorist who was going to set a bomb off. And yet here he was in one of the biggest hospitals, languishing for
two months with no treatment for either his cancer or his medical condition. And he came here and he said, look, you've got cancer. There's no reason to wait for this hole to be fixed. He was not eager to have a colostomy and have surgery for a hole, not for cancer, And
yet he was very eager to have his cancer treated. And we offered treatment for his cancer without chemo, without cutting, without bleeding, while helping in the hospital for two months without patient therapy, where he could walk in have pinpoint treatment focused on that tumor. And now shortly thereafter after he walked in here a memorial day, when he walked in in a memorable day just two days ago, when he left, and he left cancer free in remission,
that huge mass of neck is gone. Of course, we're going to be seeing him on a regular basis, and he is so happy that we didn't give him all the nose and weight and months go by. No, we took the bull by the horn. We told him what he had, We told him the options, let them see all the doctors he wants in the world. And this is the work we do. We even sent him to another doctor to try to fix that hole between the bladder and the rectum.
But that was not cancer. The neck was Hodgkins and fomar Hodgkins cancer, a curable cancer, one of the earliest curable cancers in the world. Mel Samuels was one of the most famous doctors curing cancer's Hodgkins sixty years ago. May he rest in peace. And this is the work we do. And we're on the shoulders of giants, and thanks to the giants, we're able
to offer this man treatment and potential cure. And we're saying it totally different than what those chemo guys are doing, because we're talking about clarity and words make a difference, and that's what we do here at Radiosurgery, New York. So for this man, he's in remission, doing great, and of course we're going to see him back and do testing on a regular basis. And another man Another young man fifty six years old born in Guyana, South
America. He's Merit has two children. A handsome man had painful urination and history of a lung disease, but he was found to have a colon cancer and his colon perforated. And another example of a person with colon cancer who never had colonoscopy. What is colonoscopy? Colonoscopy is putting the patient to sleep or sedating them and then examining the colon to see if there's cancer. Everyone
should have it. I should have it. I did have it, and it was one of the happiest days in my life when I had colonoscopy to see that everything on my innerds was as beautiful as everything on my adders, and probably even more so. And for this man, his doctors never told him to get colonoscopy, and he never learned about it. He never knew about it. And then his colon burst, and when it burst, the cancer had already traveled to the liver, so it had already been there for
quite some time. Again, he went to one of the super pooper hospitals. They removed the colon, They cut out part of his liver, but he had cancer traveled elsewhere stage four. They never told him, hey, you don't need to cut out part of the livery. He could go see doctor Liederman, he could do non invasive treatment for the liver metastasis. But they didn't tell him that all the times, Oh, you got to have surgery on the liver, and he accepted them. And now he's upset and
he's had chemotherapy also, and he's upset about that. He's fifty six years old and he just can't take it. He can't take the surgery and his colon on his liver and now endless chemo. And he knows with chemotherapy stage four, he learned it here that chemotherapy doesn't cure. It might extend his life by weeks or months, but the cancer grows back and that's not what he wants. And he's feeling terrible with the chemo. And he came here
because he wanted options that were not surgery and not chemo. And this is the work that we do every day at thirteen eighty four Broadway. We have lots of information to send you. We have booklets and DVDs, and many people actually come to our office. We're in the heart of New York City thirty city four Broadway by Times Square and Macy's and Harold Square and Bryant Park in Port Authority, and it's so easy to get to us. There's a
half a million people every day in our neighborhood. And often radio listeners send their friends are coming to themselves and get a package of information and DVD for the themselves and for their loved ones. There's no obligation, there's no cost. You can come in thirtyenty four Broadway, ask for doctor Liederman and pick
up a package of information and spread it out. And if you hear someone with cancer, you might want to tap him on the shoulder and say, hey, you might want to learn about all the options from doctor Liederman. Whether you're just starting with cancer, you don't have cancer, you want to get checked out, or you've had cancer treatment, like this man fifty six
years old with colon cancer who never had knoscopy. Then he had a burst colon surgery on his liver and he's told he needs endless chemo and that's not what he wants to do for the rest of his life. He can't tolerate it, he can't take it, and he's upset that no one told him about all the options. And I'm talking to a man who came to me first, eleven and a half years ago. He's a fifty eight year old black man with prostate cancers. PSA went from six to twenty six to forty
six. And he had buy ups the year before and the patient just refused. He had a biopsy that showed cancer at LEAs and seven, so it's some more aggressive cancer. He never got scans of his body. Why do we get scans when someone has cancer, Well, we want to see if the cancer's traveled. His doctors did a biopsy, but they never did any scans of him. This is eleven and a half years ago. He was waking up three times a night. He was not offered any medications. His
weight was one forty three. He was going to the gym nickxam. H had a large prostate and well, we talked about all the options. We talked about why good scans, and he agreed, why good treatment, and he agreed for gleason seven ninety percent here, sixty percent elsewhere. So it's very clear. And he was treated eleven and a half years ago and still to this day with no further treatment. No other treatment. He's doing great, his PSA zero. He's happy. His sex life works, his urinary
life works. He was not shortened here, which is so different than surgery. Now, I we talk about a man who's seventy one years old, born New Jersey. He had a cancer right on the tip of his nose. He's married. He was here by himself. He had this mass on his nose. There was a big mass on the right side of the nose, right by the naries, the bottom of the nose. And he was seen by a dermatologist. He had a biopsy. It was his first skin
cancer. And the dermatologist told me, you have to have surgery. You have to have a nose, which means they were going to excavate or cut out this big part of his nose. And he didn't want a big part of his nose cut out. He didn't want to walk around with his right side of nose missing or patched up. And yet his dermatologists did not tell him about all the options. Why why would a surgeon not tell the patient that there are non surgical options available. Why, well, I think you
know why. Anyway, he was treated here and he is so happy. He's got exam. I just examined him this week. The cancer's gone. His nose is there, His nose is beautiful. He likes the result. There's no evidence of cancer. There was no cutting, no bleeding. He had a basis cell cancer. We treat baso and squamous and karatoy cantoma.

This is Rob Redstone here with doctor Gil Leiderman at the WR Studios in the hearts of New York City, were just a few steps from the Radio Surgery in New York Cancer Treatment Center on Broadway in thirty eighth Street. Doctor Leiderman,
the leading cancer expert, treats prostate cancer non invasively. He was the first in New York with fractionated brain radio surgery, and he's the first in America and in the Western Hemisphere body radiosurgery. You can also call doctor Liederman at two and two choices for a free informative booklet and DVD. Hey, doctor Liederman, we're back, We are back, and we're here for you. I want to talk about a woman who's most remarkable story. She's eighty five
years old, she looks like she's about fifty five years old. She's married. She came with her sister. Her sister was previously treated here for breast cancer and thyroid cancer. And this woman comes with a melanoma, which is one of the worst skin cancers on her right little pinky, and she had a biop See how did she know about it. Whether the finger turned black, it was discolored. That's one of the warning signs of skin cancers. We have a lump that's growing, or call it changing colors. And she
had this black mass on her finger and she had a biopsy. She went to the biggest hospitals and they wanted to amputate her finger in part of her hand, and she just did not want her finger and part of her hand amputated. She went to doctor after doctor and they all said the same, you gotta cut, you gotta cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, and she was just adamant. She refused. She did not want to have surgery on her hand to remove part of her hand and her finger.
She came here with her sister and her loved ones and we talked about all the options. They did. Had the biggest super as pooper's biggest every hospital thinks are the biggest super pooper place, one of the biggest superpooper places. They did a pet scan of her body to look for cancer, but they forgot to include her hands in her arm. Wow, you know, wow, oh wow, oh wow. They forgot to include the critical structures. And of course we like to know that we've got records, we repeated the
test, We got an MRI which was never done. We found the cancer was only in the finger. We talked about all the options, and she was just so eager to save her finger, and so eager not to have radical surgeon, so eager not to have deforming surgery. And we offered her treatment and she was treated, and now she came in this week after treat in remission. That mass is gone, the finger is beautiful, and she is so happy her dermatologists. She actually quit her dermatologists that she went to
originally because she didn't like the advice. She thought the advice was bad advice, that the doctor didn't give all the options and never told her about doctor Liederman and radiosurgery. So she came here. She has a new dermatologist who saw her and agreed. She's in remission doing great. I saw her, I examined her. She's doing great. She likes to come on Wednesdays before the matinees on Broadway and go with her sister to the matinees. This is
the work we do. She had a melanoma of her finger. To do no cutting, no bleeding, only with a few focused beams treatment and This is what we do every day at thirteen eighty four Broadway, offering innovative treatment. Her people who never knew there was innovative treatment available, who thought you had to be deformed or chemotherapy. They want to know the options. And
so many people come here wanting to know all the options. And speaking of that, I want to speak about a sixty nine year a woman from Haiti. She's married, she came with her husband. She has high blood pressure, diabetes, and she came to us with the right breast doctor carsnoman Sytu. So doctor carsnom in Stu. Most breast cancers, not all, but most breast cancers starting the ducks. If they stay in the ducks, they're called doctor carsnomen Stu. If they spread into the substance of the breast,
then they're called invasive cancers. So she had a doctor carsnoman Stu. She went to doctors, She had mammograms, biopsies, ultrasounds, and had this dumbbell shaped DCIS and she was just adamant not to have surgery, not to have lumpectomy. Her doctors actually wanted to do a mestectomy because it was a dumbbell shaped tumor. And she was treated here and she's intermission. Her scans,
her blood tests, her physical exam show no evidence of cancer. She had Doctor Carsomansaitu declined surgery, declined systemic therapy, wanting only our treatment. And this is the work that we do every day at thirteen eighty four Broadway Broadway in thirty eighth Street in the heart of New York City. Now we speak about another patient whos from Haiti. This is a man sixty seven years old. He has one son, he has a twin sister, and he
came for a prostate cancer diagnosis. He was seen at one of the big hospitals, not the biggest, but one of the big hospitals in a neighboring borough. He had STAHT one sea cancer. He was diagnosed wow, nine and a half years ago. He had prostate cancer. He was urinating poorly. He went to the doctor. He was given medicines to heternate better. He had a bone, skin and cat scan. There was no spread of
the cancer. This is now nine and a half years ago. I examined him at a large prostate PSA five point seven Gleason seven, so again a more aggressive cancer Gleason seven and nine and a half years ago. We treated him and he's cancer free and his PSA zero, and his sex life works, and his urinary life works, and he has no shortening of his vital organ And this is the work that we do every day at thirteen eighty four Broadway Broadway in thirty eighth Street in the heart of New York City. This
is doctor Liederman. I want to speak about another man. This is another man who had a Gleason seven cancer, was seven of twelve cores positive and PSA was nine. He had a pet skin showing no spread of the cancers pressed. It was forty two CC's who he treated him in the past, and he's been cancer free as PSA zero. And then he told me why he came to me years ago. He went to one of the biggest hospitals years ago with a Gleason seven cancer and they told him that he had to
have hormones. Now, our data doesn't show for Gleason seven cancer that you have to have hormones in factory compared to thousands of men with and without, and we've seen no difference because most likely our treatment is more successful and we know that hormones take away sexual feelings and take away erections, gain weight, grow brass, and have bone disease. Even neurologic changes to your brain and make you feel less strong. And he just did not want hormone shots or
pills. At the other hospital, they told him he had to have hormones with his treatment, and he declined. He came here. We talked about all the options we talked about, by our data shows actually no benefit. And I believe because it's our treatment is more successful. And this is the work that we do every day. So his PSA is zero, no hormones. Our program of radiation only for glease and seven seven of twelve course positive with a PSA of nine. He's now in remission, he's urinating fine,
his sex life works. This is the work that we do every day at thirteen eighty four Broadway Broadway in thirty eighth Street in the heart of New York City. I was about a woman who has a very aggressive cancer, thyroid cancer. She's young, she's from Jamaica, she's married, she has three children. She came with her husband. She had terrible pain from thyword cancer
traveled to the spine. She was diagnosed years ago. She's been on pain she's been in narcotics and she's at one of the biggest facilities around and just apparently didn't know how to treat her, kept on giving her a morphine for thyword cancer which was growing through the spine, ready to paralyze her and cause terrible pain and suffering, and no treatment other than morphine. She came here,
We talked about all the options. We staged her up so we knew where the cancer was, and we offered treatment all the options, and she chose radio surgery and we treated her and she's been in remission ever since. Now she's got a new pain in her leg. This is years later, so she had stage four cancer, advanced cancer before she has pain in the leg. We staged her up. We found cancer traveled to her feme or
the leg bone, just right in the middle of the leg bone. The bone is thinning, and she wants to be treated so the pain goes away and the bone heals up and doesn't break. And this is the work that we do every day. We've now treated actually two other sites, all successfully, and she's starting this treatment because she knows our track record, she knows our success rate. It's very high, even for a cancer called thyroid cancer,
which is usually considered a radio resistant cancer. Here because of our technique and technology in doses and being first in New York and first in America and first in the Western Hemisphere with stereotactic, non invasive, no cutting, no bleeding radiosurgery, She's doing great and everywhere we've treated doing great. Now we're treating the mass in the leg which is eating through the legbone. She does not want surgery, she doesn't want other treatment. She wants our treatment because
she knows how well it works. And we have lots of information to send you. If you want information, you can check our website which is rsn Y dot org. Rs n Y like Radiosurgerynewyork dot org.
