Publisher's Synopsis
Let's admit it, we don't know what exactly cancer is. Apart from the medical fraternity and a few people, the rest of us are clueless about the nature of this disease. There are advanced treatments for cancer like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgeries, and the latest immunotherapy available but these are only treatments after diagnosis that oncologists guide you on. There is already a social stigma about cancer and it is almost synonymous with death.For the majority of people, cancer is like a death sentence. Cancer is generally identified as a tumor in the body and might be spreading across the body which makes you weak from within. Now our job as patients (if you are) and the doctor is to stop its progress and cure the disease by all means of the above-mentioned treatments. The discussion is always about what to do after cancer diagnosis and how to cure it. We don't spend much time asking the right questions about what cancer is and how it happens to me or anyone. Even if you ask a doctor how it happens they also have no specific answer for it most of the time. This book is for those who want to know the biology of cancer. For those who want to know the unknown. If you are healthy then this knowledge about cancer will help you to prevent it from happening in the future. If you or your loved one is diagnosed with cancer then this information will help you to understand the nature of the disease you are fighting with and guide you to work on the foundation of your recovery and avoid future recurrence of cancer. This book is for everyone interested to know about cancer. There might be various reasons for an individual. Some are curious about it, for academic purposes, for some their loved ones, family members are diagnosed with cancer, for some their diagnosis with cancer and currently going through treatment or have already recovered from cancer. This book is for all.
