Abstract

Cancer as a challenging disease may need more than a new drug or a new combination of drugs for its cure; a new level of consciousness seems essential in order to achieve its safe eradication. An in-depth look into the behavior and metabolic activities of cancer cells shows how these cells grow at all costs once new standards are set and repair mechanisms weakened. Moreover introduction of numerous genetic changes seems to take an overly tolerant character in cancer cells. Similarly humans have travelled far long on the trajectory of transformation in mimicking cancer cells behavior. Many of our industries today tend to work for profit, at all costs in order to ensure continued growth and ever-increasing gains. Over-production led to over-exploitation of many natural resources leading as a consequence to the destruction of fragile ecosystems while pollutants are continuing to accumulate at an alarming scale in our air, land, seas and oceans. Human cancerous activities have led to an upheaval of weather conditions, obvious today everywhere on our planet. The limits for tolerance seem to have been lost in both cancer cells and our societies while the gauge for change remains ill-defined. If such human behavior continues; the chief concern then is what will they do when cancer becomes a curable disease?
