Cancer prevention and therapy.

Abstract:

:Based on a consideration of biochemical mechanisms, rational methods for the prevention of cancer and for its positive regression are presented. It is demonstrated that the means employed are fundamentally opposed so that if the preventive method were to be used after the onset of cancer, it would only accelerate its development. The solution to these subtle questions rests notably on the established fact that a spontaneous cancer is nothing else but a phenomenon of anti-ageing. Thus, it is evident that all living beings that attain maximal longevity would necessarily die of cancer. Nevertheless, the malignant tumour is, from a certain aspect, hereditarily linked, since its early appearance in young children can only be explained by premature tissue ageing which is itself genetically derived.
