Dr. Keith Block is at the global vanguard of innovative cancer care. As medical director of the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment in Evanston, Illinois, he has treated thousands of patients who have lived long, full lives beyond their original prognoses. Now he has distilled almost thirty years of experience into the first book that gives patients a systematic, research-based plan for developing the physical and emotional vitality they need to meet the demands of treatment and recovery. Based on a profound understanding of how body and mind can work together to defeat disease, this groundbreaking book offers: • Innovative approaches to conventional treatments, such as “chronotherapy”–chemotherapy timed to patients’ unique circadian rhythms for enhanced effectiveness and reduced toxicity • Dietary choices that make the biochemical environment hostile to cancer growth and recurrence, and strengthen the immune system’s ability to attack remaining cancer cells • Precise supplement protocols to tame treatment side effects, relieve disease-related symptoms, and modify processes like inflammation and glycemia that can fuel cancer if left untreated • A new paradigm for exercise and stress reduction that restores your strength, reduces anxiety and depression, and supports the body’s own ability to heal • A complete program for remission maintenance–a proactive plan to make sure the cancer never returns Also included are “quick-start” maps to help you find the information you need right now and many case histories that will support and inspire you. Encouraging, compassionate, and authoritative, Life over Cancer is the guide patients everywhere have been waiting for.

Unlock the future of cancer treatment with "Immunotherapy Cancer Battle: Innovative Approaches for Success." This comprehensive guide dives deep into the revolutionary world of cancer immunotherapy, exploring the cutting-edge strategies and breakthroughs that are reshaping how we combat this relentless disease. From the foundational discoveries of immune checkpoint inhibitors to the advanced engineering of CAR T-cells, this book provides an in-depth journey through the evolution of immunotherapy. Chapter by chapter, you’ll uncover the remarkable stories behind these treatments—how they were developed, the science that drives them, and the incredible impact they've had on patients' lives. You'll learn about the groundbreaking clinical trials that have led to life-changing approvals for various cancers, offering hope where there once was none. But this book isn't just about the successes—it's also about the ongoing challenges and innovations in the field. You’ll explore how scientists and clinicians are continually pushing the boundaries, combining immunotherapies with traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation to maximize efficacy. You’ll delve into the world of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and their potential for personalized treatment, as well as the promise of cancer vaccines that could one day prevent or treat cancers with unparalleled precision. Ever wondered how viruses might be used to fight cancer? You'll find out in the chapter on oncolytic virus therapy, where viruses are re-engineered to selectively infect and destroy cancer cells. Plus, you’ll read about the exciting developments in adoptive cell transfer (ACT) therapies, including T-cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells, all working together to diversify and strengthen our immune responses. The book also covers innovative strategies like bispecific antibodies, which simultaneously engage two different targets, and next-generation immune checkpoints that go beyond PD-1 and CTLA-4 to offer new hope for patients. You'll gain insight into the complexities of the tumor microenvironment and how modulating it can enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapies, creating a more hostile environment for cancer to thrive. And that's not all. "Immunotherapy Cancer Battle" takes you through the futuristic applications of nanotechnology and epigenetic modulation in cancer treatment, showcasing how these cutting-edge fields are being harnessed to boos

This semi-autobiography has been used to explain the science and logistics of living a cancer-free life. A sincere attempt has been made to bridge secular and spiritual life, the science of cancer, and the science of wellness. This book conveys different ways to beat cancer and prevent cancer by systematically attacking the cancer cells with an anti-cancer lifestyle. The book has five sections. The first and the fifth sections summarize the book for a busy reader. The second section is on fighting cancer as the last game of your life by comparing this battle to world cup finals of any sport you like by diligent, unfailing team building and intelligent, blissful execution. The third section is about the prevention of cancer. Cancer survivors have to prevent cancer to remain cancer free. All of us have to prevent cancer in our life to be cancer-free. This section is an amalgamation of the science of cancer, mathematics of cancer, an anticancer lifestyle, and appreciating and realizing the infinite power within us. It explains about surrounding the body with healthy five elements (earth, water, air, fire and space) as in healthy food, healthy liquids, healthy air, healthy level of stress, and healthy companions to heal from and prevent cancer. Tapping into the infinite strength within us which the author calls as ‘Infinity’ is a common thread through fighting cancer and preventing cancer. In the fourth section on a commoner experiencing infinity, various spiritual paths to unveil that infinity have been quoted as the different methods to experience it. By democratizing spirituality, the author stresses that we all have access to Infinity, God, or Brahman in this life without waiting for it to be an afterlife experience. Some universal, mostly non-denominational, contemporary, non-dualistic and potent Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist texts have been quoted to efficiently describe these methods. These are logical and contemporary and can be practiced by all citizens of this universe of all faiths and ethnicity including atheists.

The Breast Cancer Wars

In this riveting narrative, Barron H. Lerner offers a superb medical and cultural history of our century-long battle with breast cancer. Revisiting the past, Lerner argues, can illuminate and clarify the dilemmas confronted by women with--and at risk for--the disease. Writing with insight and compassion, Lerner tells a compelling story of influential surgeons, anxious patients and committed activists. There are colorful portraits of the leading figures, ranging from the acerbic Dr. William Halsted, who pioneered the disfiguring radical mastectomy at the turn of the century to George Crile, Jr., the Cleveland surgeon who shocked the medical establishment by "going public" with his doubts about mastectomy, to Rose Kushner, a brash journalist who relentlessly educated American women about breast cancer. Lerner offers a fascinating account of the breast cancer wars: the insistent efforts of physicians to vanquish the "enemy"; the fights waged by feminists and maverick doctors to combat a paternalistic legacy that discouraged decision-making by patients; and the struggles of statisticians and researchers to generate definitive data in the face of the great risks and uncertainties raised by the disease. As easy as it is to demonize male physicians, the persistence of the radical mastectomy and other invasive treatments has had as much to do with the complicated scientific understandings of breast cancer as with sexism. In Lerner's hands, the fight against breast cancer opens a window on American medical practice over the last century: the pursuit of dramatic cures with sophisticated technologies, the emergence of patients' rights, the ethical and legal challenges raised by informed consent, and the limited ability of scientific knowledge to provide quick solutions for serious illnesses. A searching and profound work on an emotionally charged issue, The Breast Cancer Wars tells a story that remains of vital importance to modern breast cancer patients, their families and the clinicians who strive to treat and prevent this dreaded disease.
