Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Can cancer be caused by insect spray? Is it caused by eating too much charcoal-broiled meat? Or is it true that one can get cancer of the ear by using a cell phone? These and other bits of misinformation are thoroughly dissected on this 60-minute cable TV special. A panel of experts, foremost among them Dr. Ted Gansler of the American Cancer Story, not only debunks the major myths surrounding America's number two killer, but also sets forth several truths about cancer that many people choose not to recognize. Top 10 Cancer Myths was originally a presentation of the Discovery Health Channel.
