Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ongoing research into cancer from a group of scientists at the State Pathological Laboratory of the University of Buffalo. The authors provide data from the late 1800s, showing a steady increase in mortality rates from cancer and a decrease in mortality rates from tuberculosis over the same period. By invoking historical and contemporary research, the authors build a case that cancer is primarily a parasitic rather than genetic disease. Woven into this discussion is an examination of cancer's effect on society, its prevalence in specific regions, and its correlation with socioeconomic status. Far from offering a conclusive answer, the authors' main body of work demonstrates the complexity of cancer and the many angles needed to approach its study. The book concludes by identifying areas that require further investigation.
