A Scientist who claimed to have evidence of a treatment for high-risk breast cancer patients faked the results. Professor Werner Bezwoda claimed he had proof that high-dose chemotherapy, combined with blood cell treatment, could improve survival rates-the first time the scientific community had come up with such results. However, following an investigation of his findings, Professor Bezwoda admitted he had committed “a serious breach of scientific honesty and integrity.” This type of conduct is not only offensive to the scientific and medical communities, but also towards women with breast cancer. One can only wonder if the professor’s gender would have been different, would this have happened?
