According to me, the tittle is good for the book. Although the war with cancer is not over and won, being optimistic is very important. Even a patient with any other kind of illness which seems terminal. Everyone visiting would give hope that all will be well. So the title for this book gives hope that the war with cancer is gonna be won.

The title has the potential to inspire a cancer patient not to lose hope but to think to win.

I really like the topic because of the author's positive mindset.Cancer has been a deadly disease that has taken a lot of lives.
So I think the topic is nice and meaningful.

I had to read the book. There are people all around the world who suffer of cancer and still try to live a normal life, now those are the real heroes. Honestly the title itself causes the readers to start reading it..

I like the use of "war" in the title. It suggests a lot more involved in the fight against cancer than just the illness. War is fought on many fronts. It's fought on an emotional, scientific and even political front.

The causes of cancer are numerous, some of them are heredity or family susceptibility, sedentary lifestyle, eating unhealthy diets, etcetera. But most of the causes I mentioned earlier on are the things which triggers the onset of cancer. From my view of the topic, I am very optimistic the work would give hope to people who have lost hope.

I think the title is very effective. It shows that the book is focused on the bigger picture, which is putting an end to cancer once and for all. It is very optimistic and rings of hope.

As for me, I lost loved ones because of cancer; and seeing the "Winning the War on Cancer" as the title of the book made me not want to read the it since it sounded like it claims that its like a done deal, that we are actually winning it when in truth there is only an alternative that may or may not work.

I appreciate the author's intention of being positive using the word "winning", especially to those who are still battling with it. But for me, who had loved ones that lost to the war, it sounded a bit ridiculous to say "winning". I think it could have been "In Trying to Win the War on Cancer". A little longer but at least a bit practical.

What about your thoughts on the title? Do you think it's fine the way it is? Or do you think it gives a bit of false hope to some, especially in the later stages of cancer?

I have to agree the title could have been more accurate. I have lost several family members and some close friends to cancer. I only wish the war was over. Having finished the book, I think this is something to try. But I can't convince myself that it is the panacea the author wants it to be.

the title for me is great because it gives hope and positive thought to the readers, the winning word on the title of the book signifies positivism towards how to fight the war on cancer.

This speaks to me as I am lucky to beat non Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is very inspiring for those who have experienced loss and are going through it themselves. Koodos

This is a good insight. I also do agree that the "War" was meant to also embrace the other aspects like politics, and not just the disease itself. Thanks for sharing!

Same here, I only wish the war would soon be over. We already lost a lot of patients to it. And yes, it isn't THE panacea as the title suggests, but it could be something. Thanks for sharing your views!
