The conquest of cancer

** "The Conquest of Cancer" by H. W. S. Wright is a book about dealing with cancer from the view in the early 1900's. It focuses on why finding cancer and teaching people about it could really help against this widespread health problem. The book explains how chronic irritation may be a cause and then explains three ways cancer develops, and how catching it early on can improve the chance of getting better. The author says that if people get checked out regularly after they turn 40 and know more about cancer symptoms, there could be a change in dealing with cancer, and they also argue that there is too much fear revolving around cancer. The author wants more focus to be on getting healthy early on. **
