FEAR.

As a firefighter, Danny Soto faced danger
every day. But what scared him the most was
the disease that had taken his father’s life and
now threatened his: an aggressive form of
colon cancer. At Memorial Sloan Kettering,
Dr. Martin Weiser and a team of physicians
helped Danny gain more control over
his treatment with a precise surgery and
intraoperative radiation.

Their unique treatment plan allowed Danny
to get back to saving the lives of others,
including his fellow firefighters — many of
whom were inspired to get colonoscopies after
his return.
