A detailed index adds to its value as a reference source.
Cancer as a Metabolic Disease – 9780470584927
Cancer as a Metabolic DiseaseOn the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer Author(s): Thomas Seyfried Format: Hardback Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States Imprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc ISBN-13: 9780470584927, 978-0470584927 Synopsis The book addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention.?It expands upon Otto Warburg’s well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism.? However, Warburg did not link his theory to the “hallmarks of cancer” and thus his theory was discredited.? This book aims to provide?evidence, through case studies,?that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring?metabolic solutions for?its management and prevention.? Support for this position is?derived from critical assessment of current cancer theories.? Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the?same?cellular mutations that they demonstrate.
