About :
In the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, it became acceptable for doctors to dissect bodies to discover the cause of death. The German professor Wilhelm Fabry believed that breast cancer was caused by a milk clot in a mammary duct.
The physician John Hill described tobacco snuff as the cause of nose cancer in 1761.
This was followed by the report in 1775 by British surgeon Percivall Pott that chimney sweeps’ carcinoma, a cancer of the scrotum, was a common disease among chimney sweeps. With the widespread use of the microscope in the 18th century, it was discovered that the ‘cancer poison’ spread from the primary tumor through the lymph nodes to other sites (“metastasis”).
How https://www.biotecnika.org/2017/12/cancer-research-uk-celgene-ink-cancer-rd-pact/cancer was treated before these therapies came along, is also equally important. These so called ancient therapies included overall change in life style including dietary habits, exercise, yoga, meditation, homeopathy, Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani. For instance Ayurveda describes different stages of tumorigenesis as chronic inflammatory and intractable diseases with the possibility of developing malignancy, precancerous growth or probable malignancy, granthi (benign landular swelling), and arbuda or definite malignancy.
According to Ayurveda (a science of long life) which has been around 5000 years, cancer results from lifestyle errors, such as unhealthy foods, poor hygiene, or poor behavior, or from physical trauma, all leading to imbalances of vata, pitta, and kapha, resulting in injury to the inner layer of the dermis (rohini, the sixth layer of the skin) and the formation of abnormal branches of blood vessels.
Our current conference is focused on both ancient as well as modern treatments that are available for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
The broad topics to be covered in this meeting are –
- Modern medicine and cancer treatment
- Personalized medicine, targeted therapies,
- OMICS, microbiome and cancer treatment
- Ayurveda in cancer treatment & Prevention
- Yoga in cancer treatment & prevention
- Traditional Chinese Medicine in cancer treatment & prevention
- Diet/nutrition in Cancer treatment & prevention
