and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It
expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a
disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link
his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was
discredited. This book aims to provide evidence, through
case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease
requring metabolic solutions for its management and
prevention. Support for this position is derived from
critical assessment of current cancer theories. Brain cancer
case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic
solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to
other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to
the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate.
THOMAS N. SEYFRIED, PhD, has taught and conducted research in the fields of neurogenetics, neurochemistry, and cancer for more than twenty-five years at Yale University and Boston College. He has published more than 150 scientific articles and book chapters and is on the editorial boards of Nutrition & Metabolism, Journal of Lipid Research, Neurochemical Research, and ASN Neuro.

"This book offers a refreshing perspective for anyone
wanting to get a comprehensive background on the newer emerging
interest in targeting cancer metabolism for therapy."
(Doody's, 11 January 2013)
"For the first time, an entire issue is being devoted to a
review article based on a recent medical book. This is a departure
from our usual format, but I think you will agree that this topic
warrants the detailed treatment we have given it . . .This book
should be required reading for all scientifically literate people
who are involved in the cancer problem." (Advances
in Cancer Treatment, 1 October 2012)
