As I understand the cancer occurs due to : a. an initiator, b. a promoter, c. a progressor these are either inherent or acquired or inherited; cancerous growth at each location have its own causes; in that case could there be a generic form of action against cancer - for prevention/protection, for reducing its impact or stop its progression? for example many a smoker continues the habit for ages and still remain unaffected and those who are tee-totalers might acquire different forms of cancer. that means there is some metabolism in the smoker which is helping him to maintain the balance in the cells and prevent them from degenerating or losing their immunities; probably we should identify that for each type of individual and make people aware of such cells which can be cultivated or retained health for life; the question is, whether it is possible?
