A World without Cancer: The Making of a New Cure and the Real Promise of Prevention

In 2023, nearly 1.6 million new cancer cases are expected, with over 1,500 daily deaths. The current strategy focuses on managing cancer as a chronic disease, often relying on costly treatments that provide only marginal benefits. Dr. Cuomo’s book, “A World without Cancer,” analyzes over 40 years of medical evidence and insights from various stakeholders to address why cancer remains difficult to cure compared to other diseases. The work calls for a shift from treatment to prevention, urging government and industry leaders to revive the mission of the National Cancer Act of 1971 to “conquer cancer.”
