Summary: "The Conquest of Cancer" by H. W. S. Wright is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the challenges posed by cancer and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and public education in fighting the disease. It suggests that a significant proportion of cancer cases could be prevented or cured if detected early, with an overall aim to change societal attitudes towards cancer treatment and prevention. In the book, Wright argues that cancer is often preceded by chronic irritation and identifies three stages of cancer development: early cancer, with high chances of curability, cancers involving lymph nodes, and advanced stages which are typically incurable. He stresses the need for routine examinations for those over forty and advocates for greater public awareness of the disease's symptoms and treatments. Wright critiques the prevailing fear surrounding cancer and encourages a proactive approach to healthcare, asserting that much of the mortality associated with cancer could be mitigated through education and timely medical intervention.
