«Prédire et prévenir le cancer» is the oncogenetics essay by Suzette Delaloge and Lionel Pourtau, published by CNRS Editions in paperback (200 pages, in French).
The work explains how the deciphering of the human genome in 2000 has expanded oncogenetics: today it is possible to predict with increasing precision which cancers certain people may develop and to anticipate whether a drug will be effective, avoiding painful and useless treatments. It also addresses disease prevention and its place in so-called precision or personalized medicine.
The book belongs to CNRS Editions' popular science line and features a foreword by Franck Chauvin and an epilogue by Paul-Loup Weil-Dubuc.
Recommended for readers interested in oncology, prevention and public health, as well as in the ethical and social debates raised by predictive medicine.
