To fight against the deadly disease Cancer.
Natural Compounds in Cancer Therapy
A book by John Boik that deserves to be included in the reference library of every researcher and Cancer doctors. Natural compounds that show anticancer potential fit into the mechanism-based approach as perfectly as a hand fits to a glove. All the natural compounds discussed in this book have been found to inhibit Cancer. This book discusses numerous natural compounds that show promise in the treatment of Cancer. It examines fully what research has told us about them and it proposes ways of using them that could significantly increase their value in cancer treatment beyond what has been demonstrated. To understand the meaning of this new approach, one needs to see it in the context of the big picture of cancer research. Natural Compounds in Cancer Therapy fills the gap between patient’s expectations and the reality of scientific information available in the field. It is a bridge between the skepticism of the
Physicians and the hope of patients. The author provides physicians, patients, and researchers with a map of where we are, where we need to go, and how we will get there. Cancer patients and the cancer physicians are two sides of a single coin: They share similar hopes and dilemmas. Patients hope to be cured of cancer without paying an unbearable price; doctors hope to be the cure the cancer without harming the patient. Understandably, cancer patients want to survive not only the disease but also the treatment, without loss of function or quality of life. The dilemma, of course, is that when you blast cancer with the big guns of modern Western medicine, little may be left standing after the smoke cleaner.
