Cancer was first mentioned in an ancient Egyptian scroll and through the modern era, its history is marked by the epic battles we've waged against it. Siddhartha Mukherjee is a cancer physician, and in trying to understand what his patients must endure, he turned a historical and literary eye on cancer. His Pulitzer-prize winning book is now a PBS documentary premiering Monday. So, we’re rebroadcasting our conversation with Mukherjee about the disease he calls “The Emperor of All Maladies.” (Rebroadcast)

Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies airs Monday, March 30 at 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 31st at 8:30 p.m. and Wednesday, April 1 at 8:00 p.m. on KUED Channel 7. For more information, click here. For listings in other areas, click here.
