While working on chemical warfare during World War II, Karnofsky theorized that mustard gas and similar agents might be tamed and used effectively in treating cancer. With singular dedication, he set about proving his theory by conducting extensive experiments that eventually provided the medical world with a whole new concept of cancer therapy.
