[Neoplasms and medical thermodynamics]

Area of Science:

• Integrative oncology
• Medical physics
• Quantum thermodynamics

Context:

• Clinical oncology's progress is impeded by a lack of integration with broader scientific advancements.
• Medical journals and textbooks often fail to incorporate current research, particularly from basic sciences.
• Existing theoretical explanations for modern oncology technologies are frequently inadequate.

Purpose:

• To analyze the content of Polish oncology textbooks and gynecologic oncology conference materials.
• To identify deficiencies in the integration of general scientific knowledge and theoretical frameworks within oncology.
• To highlight the need for incorporating advanced concepts like quantum thermodynamics for improved cancer diagnostics and treatment.

Summary:

• Oncology textbooks and conference materials were found to omit current literature, rely on outdated information, and inadequately explain modern technologies like photodynamics and nanotechnology.
• There is a significant gap in the inclusion of medical thermodynamics and a disregard for the principle of 'primum non nocere' (first, do no harm).
• Neoplastic diseases, arising from self-organizing dissipative structures, require early diagnosis and causative treatment in precancerous states, utilizing methods based on quantum thermodynamics.

Impact:

• Advocates for a paradigm shift in oncology education and practice, emphasizing interdisciplinary knowledge integration.
• Highlights the potential of quantum thermodynamics-based methods (e.g., lasers, nuclear magnetic resonance, genetic nanotechnology) for early cancer detection and effective treatment.
• Stresses the importance of updating medical literature and adhering to fundamental ethical principles for advancing cancer care.
