Download or read book Fighting CANCER with Knowledge and Hope written by Richard C. Frank and published by . This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer has long been a disease regarded by many with trepidation and fear, rarely understood or explained outside medical circles. Here Richard Frank debunks the myths surrounding cancer, offering clear, concise information on all aspects of the disease, empowering patients, spouses, family members, friends and healthcare providers through knowledge and hope. Actual patient case histories are used in the first part of the book to explain the behaviour of cancer in the body, how different cancers are staged, how oncologists estimate curability, and the current thinking about the causes of the disease as well as the best means to prevent it. The second part of the book covers the reasons oncologists recommend a particular sequence of surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation, and uniquely explores the ways in which the major forms of cancer-fighting drugs work to shut down cancer growth, including the use of visualization by the patient. Starting from the premise that no two cancers are exactly alike, Frank shows how patients can use mind body interactions to combat and confront their disease. Finally, a chapter is dedicated to coping strategies recommended by those who have survived cancer, and a wealth of information is provided in the appendix on medicines, resource materials for patient advocacy, patient and family support, clinical trials, genetic testing and nutrition. This clearly written, practical guide presents a unique and comprehensive insight into cancer in all its aspects. Invaluable to patients and practitioners alike, it uses knowledge, empathy and hope to lessen the fear of the disease for millions of cancer patients around the world.

Download or read book The Cheating Cell written by Athena Aktipis and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental and groundbreaking reassessment of how we view and manage cancer When we think of the forces driving cancer, we don’t necessarily think of evolution. But evolution and cancer are closely linked because the historical processes that created life also created cancer. The Cheating Cell delves into this extraordinary relationship, and shows that by understanding cancer’s evolutionary origins, researchers can come up with more effective, revolutionary treatments. Athena Aktipis goes back billions of years to explore when unicellular forms became multicellular organisms. Within these bodies of cooperating cells, cheating ones arose, overusing resources and replicating out of control, giving rise to cancer. Aktipis illustrates how evolution has paved the way for cancer’s ubiquity, and why it will exist as long as multicellular life does. Even so, she argues, this doesn’t mean we should give up on treating cancer—in fact, evolutionary approaches offer new and promising options for the disease’s prevention and treatments that aim at long-term management rather than simple eradication. Looking across species—from sponges and cacti to dogs and elephants—we are discovering new mechanisms of tumor suppression and the many ways that multicellular life-forms have evolved to keep cancer under control. By accepting that cancer is a part of our biological past, present, and future—and that we cannot win a war against evolution—treatments can become smarter, more strategic, and more humane. Unifying the latest research from biology, ecology, medicine, and social science, The Cheating Cell challenges us to rethink cancer’s fundamental nature and our relationship to it.

Following an overview of the disease and the diverse methods of therapy and clinical testing, the book provides a detailed examination of the plants whose compounds are currently used in conventional cancer treatment, the species which show the greatest potential as future candidates, and other species with established anticancer properties. The third section explores each of more than 150 terrestrial plant genera and species, with a review of their traditional uses, mythology, botany, active ingredients, and product applications, along with photographs and illustrations and an analysis of expected results and risks. The text closes with a discussion of algal extracts and isolated metabolites with anticancer activity, a summary of published research for each species, and chemical structures of the most important compounds.
