From War to Compassion-A New Paradigm in Understanding Cancer

Abstract

For decades, the prevailing narrative around cancer has been framed as a war a relentless battle between medicine and malignant cells. We speak of “fighting cancer,” “killing tumors,” and “defeating the disease,” projecting onto it an identity of hostility and invasion. While this language has served to mobilize research and treatment efforts, it may have also blinded us to a more profound and compassionate understanding of the biological and energetic nature of cancer.
