Mohammad A. Nezami - Transition from Crime to Care in Oncology: A Critical Review of Current Cancer Research and Its Applications

I am transformed and healed as I recognize my connection with the divine, my protector, archangel Rafael.

Advance Praise

Cancer is ubiquitous in every society affecting every family in every country. Tremendous strides have been made in our understanding of the treatment of cancer. New mechanisms of treatments have been approved with immunology, vaccines, targeted therapies being developed. This has led to an increase in survival and quality of life. Despite this, we still have big gaps in our understanding and little improvements in cancer treatment for some cancers. Dr Nezami presents his understanding and new interpretation of the current state of cancer treatment and its shortfalls. This book will validate some peoples opinions and be controversial to other people. Until we can cure and control all cancers, there is room for improvement and new treatments.

To my current patients

My future colleagues with outside the box thinking

The 13,146 oncologists currently practicing in the US, who are the subjects of this book

Future colleagueswhy? In the past and present, only a few pioneers in my profession have been able to fully understand me. Practitioners who only practice medicine and refrain from the application of research and up-to-date information about cancer biology in their practice have a hard time understanding customized oncology, let alone applying it.

Customized programs targeting the real-time genetic character of a tumor appeal to those people who are elusive and defiantthe risk-takers and disruptors who break the rules and laugh in the face of convention.

When the established rules become a constraint to creativity, it takes individuals of vision to carry the game forward.
