Inhaltsangabe

The "New Cancer Drugs"-Targeted Therapies-have not cured many people. The limitations of "immunotherapy" are already becoming apparent. After more than half a century of genetics, molecular biology, and immunology, we must face the facts: the laws of biology are not enough to explain the onset of cancer or to offer a therapeutic solution. Today, curing cancer is still first and foremost a process combining surgery, radiation therapy, and, sometimes, drugs. Even the shift toward chronic management of certain cancers-such as breast and prostate cancer-owes more to the improved use of established methods than to therapeutic innovation. The enormous cost of these drug treatments makes failure all the more bitter. *Forces & Cancer* posits a principle: the laws of physics-and particularly those of mechanics-also apply to living tissue. This rediscovery gave rise to Physical Oncology, the subject of this book: how to integrate the laws of mechanics into the remarkable achievements of contemporary biology.
