A fifteen second card from Protocol and People. The question on screen reads: What is a biopsy? The answer reads: A small sample of tissue is taken from your body and looked at under a microscope. It confirms whether cancer is present and identifies the exact type. A biopsy gives answers that scans alone cannot, which is why it usually comes before a treatment plan is made. An illustration of Dr Oye, a Black woman in a white coat with glasses and a stethoscope, appears beside the card. The address protocolandpeople.org is shown at the bottom.
A fifteen second card from Protocol and People. The question on screen reads: What is cancer, actually? The answer reads: Your body makes new cells all the time and stops when it has enough. Cancer is what happens when one cell loses that stop signal and keeps copying itself. Cancer that starts in the breast behaves differently from cancer that starts in the lung. That is why your treatment will not be the same as someone else's. An illustration of Dr Oye, a Black woman in a white coat with glasses and a stethoscope, appears beside the card.
