Plot summary
Stanislaw Burzynski is a medical doctor and holds a doctorate in biochemistry. In the 1970s he discovered gene-targeted cancer medicines and named them antineoplastons. The battles that followed, with the United States government, centered on those medicines. His fight with the Food and Drug Administration became one of the largest legal battles the agency has faced, and arguably the most convoluted and intriguing. Burzynski and the patients who came to him for care spent fourteen years pursuing FDA-approved clinical trials for the drug. His medical and legal battles have brought the treatment to the public, and upon completion it is to be available the world over.
