The Cancer Principle-V: Cancer Prevention and Therapeutics
Asima Tripathy · Indian Journal of Public Health Research & Development · 2020
Organisms evolve in attempting to evade cancer while they perish ultimately by succumbing to it because cancer, being at the very core and source of life and evolution is simply undefeatable and is destined to win in the long run. Rather, due to the depth and versatility of cancer that they aim to counter, they end up causing many other diseases due to wholesale systemic dysfunction in the organism. Every cancer cell therefore has its own independent aberration profile and as such can be treated as an independently evolving organism with its own inbuilt mechanisms of survival and perpetuation. There is as fundamental feature of immortality associated with cancer which is its primordial origin. Therefore therapeutic strategies fail invariably to contain cancer progression and metastasis.
