Isbn: 9780192628350 - cancer: the evolutionary legacy (12 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Around one in three people will at some time in their lives be diagnosed with cancer. For Western societies relishing health, wealth, and longevity, its continued prominence is one of the greatest challenges to science. Cancer is extraordinarily diverse in its causation, symptoms, likelihood of effective treatment - in some sense, every patient's cancer is unique, and that is part of the problem. Mel Greaves explains why the old paradigms of infectious diseases or genetic disorders have proved fruitless, and claims that by looking at cancer in its evolutionary context, we can begin to answer some of the big questions in cancer that concern us all. Drawing on both ancient and more modern evolutionary legacies, he shows how human development has changed the rules of evolutionary games, trapping us in a nature-nurture mismatch. …

Zustand: Very Good. : En este fascinante libro, Mel Greaves explica por qué los antiguos paradigmas de las enfermedades infecciosas o los trastornos genéticos han resultado infructuosos al intentar explicar el complejo y esquivo rompecabezas que es el cáncer. En cambio, afirma que al observar el cáncer en su contexto evolutivo, podemos comenzar a responder algunas de las grandes preguntas sobre el cáncer que nos preocupan a todos. Basándose en legados evolutivos tanto antiguos como modernos, muestra cómo el desarrollo humano ha cambiado las reglas de los juegos evolutivos, atrapándonos en un desajuste entre naturaleza y crianza. Con ejemplos convincentes, desde el tumor intestinal del rey de Nápoles en el siglo XV, pasando por la epidemia de cáncer de piel escrotal en los deshollinadores del siglo XVIII, hasta el actual aumento de casos de cáncer de próstata, ilustra su tesis. Y, por último, analiza las implicaciones para la investigación, la prevención y el tratamiento del cáncer que proporciona una perspectiva evolutiva. Este libro será de gran interés para todos aquellos que deseen comprender la gran C, el mayor asesino de todos.
