Professor Paul Workman, Chief Executive of the ICR, said: A lot of the genetic variants already linked to cancer occur in gene deserts - often very long and quite mysterious DNA sequences that don't actually contain 'genes', but which are involved in causing cancer in ways we do not yet fully understand. Speaking at the World Oncology Forum in Switzerland, Professor claimed theoretical scientists have identified 500 cancer-related proteins which could be attacked by drugs - but only 5 per cent of these treatments have so far been developed. A major problem, he admitted, is finance. Today, militaristic language (the War on Cancer) pops up in oncology. The Father of Oncology said: Scientific iron/cancer information-1905-2015 is largely ignored. Researchers cannot understand that primary tumors always develop at body sites of excessive iron deposits. Such deposits can be inherited or acquired (local/regional iron overload can be inherited or acquired). Cancer is a disease of iron-overloaded cells. Every person has cancer genes (iron-overloaded genes) and anticancer genes (iron-deficiency genes). At the cellular level, cancer occurs when cellular iron overload chaotically affects DNA, chromosomes, mitochondria, lysosomes, etc. DNA carries the instructions for building all of the proteins that make each living creature unique. Abnormalities in the DNA are like typographical errors. Some errors lead to production of a slightly abnormal protein, while others lead to a very abnormal protein or to the complete absence of a particular protein. Surgery (ceramic blades), direct intratumoral injections of iron-deficiency agents (ceramic needles) and personalised clinical iron-deficiency methods can successfully eliminate tumors, metastases and micrometastases. Cancer costs the world economy nearly US$3 trillion every year. Will we ever win the War on Cancer? We are surrounded by a growing ocean of cancer information in all formats. Information overload is used to suppress adequate information on cellular iron overload and anticancer iron-deficiency methods.
