The annual Mary Gates Lectureship brings together scientists, physicians, biotechnologists, cancer survivors, philanthropists and the community for a lecture by a notable scientist to leverage knowledge and foster collaboration in accelerating treatments and a cure for breast cancer. This year Northwest Cancer Partners presents Judah Folkman, whose landmark research focuses on cutting off the blood supply to tumors.  The process is known as angiogenesis and is the foundation of many new promising cancer treatments. Drawing from Dr. Folkman’s work, researchers worldwide now believe angiogenesis discoveries may be a common denominator in at least 70 diseases. UWTV honors Judah Folkman, who died January 2008 of a heart attack, four years after the taping of this program. From the Series:Beating Cancer At Its Own Game
