Cancer is the most harmful global problem of our time and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the coming decades. Altered metabolism is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells. Our goal in writing this book was to provide physician,scientists and medical students with a concise resource that will help them to understand the main types of cancers,etiology,diagnosis and epidemiology. Additionally, the role of carbohydrate,lipid and protein in regulatory aspects of the core pathways in cancer metabolism and which are responsible for initiation and progression of cancer.Next comes a brief accounting on the alternative medicine and the natural treatment of cancer and how the medicinal plants can prevent and treated cancer.Each chapter is organized in a consistent manner beginning with an explanation of the main structure and functions of the different metabolic pathway and providing exhaustive coverage on different types of treatments and prevention based on metabolic pathways.We hope that our book will provide scientists with the tools to comprehend and appreciate the detailed resources that contain the ever-expanding body of knowledge's on cancer metabolism and managements
