The Cancer Epidemic (Paperback)

Cancer rates worldwide are projected to increase 75% by 2030, which is frightening. This means cancer rates will nearly double over the next two decades, and 1 in 3 Americans will be diagnosed with a form of cancer before they turn 65. The majority of new cancer incidences are in developing countries in which rates are estimated to increase nearly 90% over the next two decades. Alan Philowitz takes his readers on a journey in "The Cancer Epidemic" through the history of cancer, treatments for it, and technology guiding its research. The conclusion reached is quite startling. Although many areas of science have contributed to the improvement of cancer therapy, the best option for cancer patients is still surgery, which has been used since antiquity to treat cancer. The cancer epidemic will increasingly grow, and in many ways researchers and oncologists are not ready to meet most cancer patients' treatment needs.
