description: In nine clear and concise lectures focusing on ten of the most common cancers, this book explains the basics of what it is, what it does, and what is being done to try to cure it. Using his trademark style of every-day example, metaphor, anecdote and humor, Dr. Sompayrac conveys ― step-by-step ― the essentials of what we know about human malignancies, what conditions and events are necessary for tumors to form and grow, and what has been learned about stopping that process.
