A fundamental and groundbreaking reassessment of how we view and manage cance rWhen we think of the forces driving cancer, we don?t necessarily think of evolution. But evolution and cancer are closely linked because the historica l processes that created life also created cancer. The Cheating Cell delves into this extraordinary relationship, and shows that by understanding cancer?s evo lutionary origins, researchers can come up with more effective, revolutionary tr eatments.Athena Aktipis goes back billions of years to explore when unice llular forms became multicellular organisms. Within these bodies of cooperating cells, cheating ones arose, overusing resources and replicating out of control, giving rise to cancer. Aktipis illustrates how evolution has paved the way for c ancer?s ubiquity, and why it will exist as long as multicellular life does. Ev en so, she argues, this doesn?t mean we should give up on treating cancer?in fact, evolutionary approaches offer new and promising options for the disease? ?s prevention and treatments that aim at long-term management rather than simple eradication. Looking across species?from sponges and cacti to dogs and elepha nts?we are discovering new mechanisms of tumor suppression and the many ways t hat multicellular life-forms have evolved to keep cancer under control. By accep ting that cancer is a part of our biological past, present, and future?and tha t we cannot win a war against evolution?treatments can become smarter, more st rategic, and more humane.Unifying the latest research from biology, ecolo gy, medicine, and social science, The Cheating Cell challenges us to rethink can cer?s fundamental nature and our relationship to it.…
