No Evidence of Disease
Follow a unique rock band made up of six gynecologic oncology surgeons from across the country who are taking healing and the arts to a new level (the band's name comes from the four words every patient prays to hear, ""No Evidence of Disease""). Created as a cover band to entertain their peers at a medical conference, the members soon saw the potential to reach women in a powerful way - through music. What started as a novelty turned into an awareness movement to give a voice to women affected by gynecologic cancers.
