We all grow and heal due to cell divisions. But crazy cell divisions is dangerous…it is cancer. When US president Richard Nixon asked the scientists to join a “war on Cancer” back in 1972, we did not know much about cancer, although many were dying from this deadly disease. Since then a lot has been learned. With the help of statistics, probability, and modeling, we will explore the history of recognition of the disease as well as the types, possible causes, and other aspects of the nature of cancer. But remember….cancer has no answer!
