In The Metabolism of Tumours, Warburg demonstrated that cancer cells are characterized by 2 conditions: acidosis (high acidity) and hypoxia (lack of oxygen): “Lack of oxygen and acidosis are two sides of the same coin: where you have one, you have the other.

What happens when the cancer the doctors said was gone comes back only a year later and this time worse than before? For Mary Williams, this just so happened to be her case. Her malignant melanoma is back and this time an unspoken terminal is present in the diagnosis. As a mother of two young girls, eight and eleven years old, Williams is…

On Nov 17th 2016, my colleague Fen underwent the resection of a lung nodule. It turned out to be adenocarcinoma in situ, a very early stage of lung cancer with favorable prognosis. I've never felt more relieved and fulfilled because she was the 32nd patient we saved in the CT lung cancer screening program. It was a profound moment on my way to pursue my goal--to help people fight with cancer. I have acquired perseverance, leadership and aspiration on this long way, which ensured me the…

The patient has been diagnosed with Pancoast tumor located in the apex of his right lung. Here, the carcinoma can invade, apply pressure and damage the neighboring structures and cause many different symptoms.

This tract consists of a three-neuron arc that runs from the hypothalamus to the eye and the sweat glands of face and neck. If it is…
