Cancer, the second leading killer after heart disease, has plagued mankind for centuries. This book outlines its past history and primitive therapy, discusses the breakthrough advances in understanding the cellular mechanisms, the current therapeutic approaches and future hopes for cures. Never a single entity amenable to a specific, generalized cure for all, cancer represents a different disease in each individual requiring targeted therapy directed against the specific cellular change causing the cancer.
