Thanks for that link.

I think that it makes some sensible suggestions; don't smoke, eat in a healthy way, etc.

However, in my view it is confusing because it implies that cancer is "one disease". It is not - usually cancer arises from a number of mutations (4-6 is typical) in genes which encode proteins which are important in controlling cell division.

These mutations differ - those involved in the different forms of breast cancer are generally not the same as those in the different forms of bowel cancer, etc. This is something that many 1000s of evidence-based biomedical scientists all round the world are working on.

This knowledge can lead to improved therapeutic outcomes. For example, a breast cancer which is which is oestrogen-dependent can, post-surgery, be treated with tamoxifen while one in which HER2 is over-expressed can be treated with Herceptin. Evidence-based medicine in action.

Swapping these treatments round would be pointless - it saddens me that the link does not discuss this (one of many examples) in a rational way.
