About This Book

The author argues that cancer should be approached primarily as a medical rather than purely surgical disease, reviewing mortality statistics, epidemiology, and clinical observation to identify internal and metabolic conditions that predispose to malignancy. The lectures analyze influences such as age, sex, occupation, race, climate, and diet, discuss inoperable, recurrent, and metastatic disease, and examine blood and laboratory findings. Practical recommendations include dietary regimens, hygienic measures, internal medical treatments, and lines for further laboratory investigation. Case examples illustrate outcomes and the author emphasizes prevention through lifestyle and early medical management rather than relying solely on late surgical intervention.
