Cancer evokes profound emotions, symbolizing pain, suffering, and death, making it one of the most feared diseases. In medically advanced nations, malignant neoplasms account for a significant portion of deaths; in 1970, they represented 20.4% of the 575,194 deaths in England and Wales. While diseases of the circulatory system caused even more fatalities, our emotional response to cancer often overshadows these statistics. Many have witnessed the decline of loved ones suffering from inoperable cancer, which fosters feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. Such emotional turmoil can drive dedicated research efforts, yet the intensity of this commitment may sometimes hinder the objective analysis necessary for effective strategies. The belief that discovering the causes of cancer could lead to solutions and relief from suffering is compelling. This logic, while appealing, can oversimplify the complexities of cancer and its treatment. The desire to prevent cancer by understanding its origins reflects a deep yearning for control over an illness that often feels insurmountable, highlighting the intricate relationship between emotional responses and the pursuit of scientific knowledge in the fight against this formidable disease.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Of all the diseases that afflict mankind those described as 'cancer' evoke the strongest emotions. 'Cancer' connotes pain, protracted suffering, hideous growth and death. It is widely and justifiably feared. In medically advanced countries, malignant neoplasms (the official term for cancers) account for a substantial proportion of all deaths. Out of a total of 575194 deaths in Eng land and Wales during the year 1970, some 117076-or 20 4 per cent-were attributed to neoplasms of one kind or another (Registrar General, 1972). Diseases of the circulatory system-mainly arteriosclerotic and degenerative heart disease-claimed many more victims, being responsible for some 50 6 per cent of all deaths, but our psyche evidently responds more to the manner of the disease than to the number of deaths it causes. Many of us will have witnessed the deterioration of a close friend or relative suffering from an inoperable cancer: such an experience induces a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. The feelings of sorrow and distress can be a powerful stimulus to action and they often result in dedicated and tireless research efforts. At the same time, the very strength and depth of the commitment may sometimes be incompatible with the detachment that is needed for objective analysis and a wise strategy. Not too rigorously, we reason that if only we can discover the causes of cancer, then our problems will be solved and our agonies relieved. Remove the cause: prevent the cancer. The logic exerts an irresistible appeal.
