Sinopsis

Cancer has one of the highest mortality rates and its incidence in the modern industrialized world continues to rise. The objective of this book is to elucidate the biological roots of carcinogenesis. A spectacular result of this analysis is the concept of the five basic cancer programs, which are the exact reverse of the five basic programs for cell control: division, growth, differentiation, function, and apoptosis. Each of these cell programs is characterized according to the interaction between the cell's genes, signals, and metabolites. Understanding the regulatory processes in normal cells allows profound insights into those of cancer cells. The findings on cancer development are then integrated into a general framework, a ‘Unified Holistic Theory of Evolution’. In conclusion, new approaches to cancer diagnosis, prophylaxis and therapy are discussed against this background.

Reseña del editor

Cancer is one of the most frequent of the mortal disease. In the modern industrialized world the incidence of cancer continues to rise. There are various reasons for this, for example the keeping of statistics on cancer has been improved, the risk of getting cancer is elevated due to the increase in life expectancy, and there has been a rise in the effects of environmental cancerogens on man. This text presents a brief overview of understandings of the development of cancer. It aims to make clear mainly the biological roots of carcinogenesis and presents a concept of five basic programmes for cell control - division, growth, differentiation, function and apoptosis. Each of these cell programmes is characterized according to the interaction of the cell's genes, signals and metabolites. An understanding of the regulatory processes in normal cells allows profound insights into those of cancer cells. The findings on cancer development are then integrated into a general framework, a unified holistic theory of evolution. Against this background, approaches to cancer diagnosis, prophylaxis and therapy are discussed.
