Tango helps cancer patients get back on their feet


Researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center have taken the results a step further by teaching the tango to cancer patients. “The only thing I could feel in my feet was the balls,” Hickey told FoxNews.com. Nearly 70 percent of patients suffer from nerve damage in their hands and feet after only one month of chemotherapy. OSU researchers turned to Mimi Lamantia, a student double-majoring in premed and dance, to come up with a way to help cancer patients struggling with balance. Many cancer patients may also suffer muscle loss, which the tango can also help to rebuild.
