Summary

There is little doubt that cancer kills without prejudice throughout the world-the pain and sorrow it causes is universal. Although Eastern and Western doctors have the same objectives in the fight against this disease, the ways in which they approach its treatment are worlds apart. To understand their approaches and visualize where these paths may lead in the battle against cancer is the objective of this unique book. Written by two world-renowned medical researchers and physicians, The Yin & Yang of Cancer bridges this information gap to ultimately provide important answers.
