Highlighted are vivid images, vintage newspaper articles, journal reprints and the Data Charts from the world's first patients treated successfully with a nuclear substance-radioiodine (RAI). Dr Hertz overcame the challenges of the intolerance of being an outsider, institutional politics, stolen intellectual property as well as his work being interrupted by World War II to bring his paradigm changing work to fruition. He envisioned the tracer method of holding the key to Cancer in general.  Saul Hertz's success of developing the medical uses radioiodine (RAI) is the first and Gold Standard of targeted Cancer therapy.
