Why Cancer Research Has Stalled 

by T Colin Campbell (Jacob Gould Schurman Prof Emeritus, Cornell) 

Synopsis: The failure of science and medicine to prevent or significantly treat the current epidemic of cancer is not necessarily due to the inherent invincibility of the disease. T Colin Campbell, cancer biologist and nutrition researcher, proposes that the primary reason for lack of progress is paradigm failure: that medical science is mired in the faulty dogma that cancer is primarily a genetic disease. 

According to mainstream thinking, cancer results from an accumulation of mutations in cells and tumours. These mutations result from certain mutagenic risk factors, inheritance, or just bad luck. Therefore cancer, by inference, is typically irreversible. But Prof. Campbell points out that his research, and that of many others, indicates that many known causes of cancers are non-mutagenic factors. These include nutrition, hormones, stress, and non-mutagenic man-made chemicals. The nature of these factors suggests that cancer might be reversible, preventable, or curable by non-invasive and non-toxic means.  Despite the persistent failure of medical science to defeat this disease such treatments are nevertheless neglected.
