before we get there. again, this is good news. >> dan, it's been referred to as an experimental c drug. it's been approved by the da, for example. >> that is correct. in 2014, it was approved more melanoma and certain types of lung cancer. they're studying it for other types of cancer. there's a possibility maybe in the future it could be used for any number of cancers. it really is an interesting addition to the arsenal that doctors have against cancer. >> if you're watching this and you know someone who's got a similar condition, is this a time to be excited? should you be excited by this news, or would you caution against that? >> richard, it's both things.

you really would take some hope in this because it shows that there is a drug here that could be better than what has been available before. but you also meed to know that you know, here we have this drug that's being used in very late stage cancer patients. sure it might work for one person. it may not work quite, as well for another person. there's study that needs to happen but it is something that's hopeful. and it's something that doctors are keeping their fingers crossed on. >> and you know, dan, the thing about president carter, he is so determined. he's always been positive and faith is a huge part of his life. are there any medical studies about the influence of positive attitude and faith-based approach to your diagnosis that makes a difference? >> well, the studies on this are few and far between. they're very inconclusive. we don't know, for example, whether having strong faith or a very positive outlook affects your cancer in any sort of direct way. what we do know is that people

who respond to these sorts of situations possibly tend to have better outcomes. if you have a good outlook, it may help you in other aspects of your life that also contribute to how well you fight off this cancer. so it's certainly not a bad thing. >> he has a good outlook. >> such a positive person. >> he's got one of the best out of office careers of any president. >> you're right. i think he even admitted it that he felt that his career after leaving office was probably. >> was better than the one in the office. >> thank you so much. abc's medical editor dan childs. thanks for joining us this morning, dan. >> thank you. coming up in our next half hour, the brazen burglary in london. robbers bursting into simon cowell's home while they were sleeping. >> many christians are gearing up for a fight against what they say is a growing political correctness waging a war on their holiday. you are watching "world news now." >> announcer: "world news now
