Abstract:
The Dr. Nichols Sanatorium had a life of 60 years (1896-1956) and achieved its greatest success in Savannah, Missouri (1912-1956). More than 70,000 patients from every state and several foreign countries were treated for skin, mucosal and breast cancer. This paper will detail the author's investigation into why Nichols with his escharotic (caustic) method did not make the discoveries later achieved by Frederick Mohs, MD, of Mohs Chemosurgery fame.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
