Cancer: Overview of Protocols
Those diagnosed with cancer today find themselves at a historical crossroad.
Despite multiple therapies from which to choose, no medical facility integrates
cancer therapies into a comprehensive program. The result is that cancer
patients are not provided an optimal opportunity to achieve long-term
survival.
Discoveries are occurring in the research setting more quickly than
they are being incorporated into clinical practice.
The challenge for cancer patients is to acquire enough information to
take advantage of as many treatment options as is practical. Cancer is
a complex disease that requires a multimodality therapy to provide the
best odds of attaining a cure. Many of the recommendations contained in
the following protocols require the cooperation of a motivated oncologist.
The protocols you are about to view are complicated and will probably
require several readings for most people to comprehend. One reason for
the complexity is that individual variables significantly affect therapy
options.
Curing cancer is not simple. Until a medical facility is developed that
integrates all potential therapies into individualized treatments, patients
must become self-empowered and fully educated about their disease.
The purpose of these protocols is to translate the vast amount of current
knowledge into practical formats for cancer patients and their oncologists.
Tens of thousands of published papers were reviewed in order to propose
novel methods for overcoming the multiple survival mechanisms that cancer
cells use to resist eradication by conventional therapies.
For the first time in medical history, the cancer patient can delve
deep into the molecular aspects behind their disease and use this information
in a practical manner. Those who believe in controlling their own destiny
will appreciate how translational research is available to help them battle
their disease. Here are the cancer protocol chapters that can be found
in alphabetical order:
STAYING INFORMED
The information published in this protocol is only as current as the
day the book was printed. This cancer protocol raises many issues that
are subject to change as new data emerge. Furthermore, cancer is still
a disease with unacceptably high mortality rates, and none of our suggested
treatment regimens can guarantee a cure.
The Life Extension Foundation is constantly uncovering information to
provide the cancer patient with more ammunition to battle their disease.
A special website has been established for the purpose of updating patients
on new findings that directly pertain to the cancer protocols published
in this book. Whenever Life Extension discovers information that points
to a better way of treating cancer, it will be posted on the website www.lefcancer.org.
Before utilizing the cancer protocols in this book, we suggest that
you log on to www.lefcancer.org
to see if any substantive changes have been made to the therapeutic recommendations
described in this protocol. Based on the sheer number of newly published
findings, there could be significant alterations to the information you
have just read.
