Our understanding of cancer is slowly undergoing a revolution. For the first time ever, the death rate from cancer is showing a steady decline. But the 'War on Cancer' has hardly been won. Dr Jason Fung offers a revolutionary understanding of this invasive, often fatal disease - what it is, how it manifests and why it is so challenging to treat. He identifies the medical community's many missteps in cancer research - in particular, its focus on genetics, or what he terms the 'seed' of cancer, at the expense of examining the 'soil,' or the conditions under which cancer flourishes. He - whose work in the treatment of obesity and diabetes has won him international acclaim - suggests that the primary disease pathway of cancer is caused by the dysregulation of insulin. He provides a paradigm for dealing with cancer, with recommendations for what we can do to create a hostile soil for this dangerous seed.
