| Summary: |
This volume is dedicated to the ethical problems related to carcinogenesis. It discusses the karyogamic theory in a new light, using new arguments, and considers the prospects of cancer prevention and treatment. The current stage of scientific development fails to answer such questions as: What is a cancer cell? What is its essence? In the opinion of most cancer researchers, the genetic apparatus of the target cell should be responsible for the conversion of a tumour cell into a normal one. This book, however, highlights the often-disregarded role of non-DNA cellular elements in carcinogenesis. |
