Strategic Plan to Substantially Reduce Cancer Deaths

We need a strategic plan to substantially reduce cancer deaths.

• To focus our efforts, identify gaps in knowledge
• Goal is to reduce annual cancer deaths from current 600K to 100K by 2030
• It might fail - that may be why others have not attempted, but I think we can make important progress towards this goal

Two main aspects - prevention, combinations of treatment.

• Prevention: American Code Against Cancer - not controversial, find ways to better promote these activities

• Combinations of Treatment: New thesis - If we have 20+ partially effective therapies for a specific type of cancer, then some some subset, in combination, should be substantially effective, see: http://www.natpernick.com/CombinationsOfTherapy.html

• Behavior of whole is greater than sum of behavior of parts
• Target: primary tumor, also microenvironment, systemic networks
• Compiling a list, see http://natpernick.com/Pancreatic%20Cancer%20Treatment%20Targets.html
• Then start clinical trials, or other means of testing (animal models, cell cultures, computer simulations)
