When people are denied the right to discuss their life on the parliament floor or in the media, they're forced into the street - and into strange alliances.

Lichtenfeld expressed his worry that Retsky’s findings may reinforce African-American fears about cancer surgery and deter patients from seeking treatment. “Unfortunately, by the time mainstream media reports arrive to consumers, all they hear is that the myth may be true, a claim that is as potentially dangerous as it is unsupportable with the current state of knowledge,” the statement read. Lichtenfeld could not be reached for a telephone interview. Retsky stressed that...
