Recommendation
Science and medicine writer Kat McGowan provides a hope-inspiring insight into cancer prevention research. She reminds readers that 50% of cancer deaths would be avoidable with a healthier lifestyle, but she doesn’t labor the point. Her explanations of how the immune system tries to combat cancer, how cancer cells respond and various ways doctors might intervene are clear and easy to understand. The news is positive, but McGowan tempers it with a reminder that all medical science takes time. getAbstract recommends this report to anyone with an interest in cancer prevention.
