From Junk Bond King To Cancer Crusader

Article Abstract:

Michael Milken was one of the most influential persons in American finance until he was sent to jail for securities-law violations for false junk bonds. In 1993 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and has been a staunch crusader against this disease. His involvement has helped the movement as well as aided in getting the word out on this disease. The ongoing research and experiments for finding a cure for prostate cancer are detailed.
