The title led me to read the review of the book. From reading the review it confirmed what I've believed for a while: that cancer can be treated successfully, but those ways are being suppressed by the mainstream. This can be said for all diseases.

However, when you have lost someone to cancer or to any disease then that is how you feel: that you have lost. So, it is natural that a title like "winning" does not sit well.

Winning the war on cancer doesn't sound impossible in this day and age with the amount of resources being poured into finding a cure. After reading a sample of this book I understood where the author is coming from, hence I understand why the author might have titled the book " Winning the war on cancer". It doesn't sound practical and you might also say that the author is trying to make money by selling false hope but she is giving her perspective on how cancer can be defeated as the daughter of the French molecular biologist and not just some random person. Hence why I believe the title to have been appropriate for the book.

For me, the book title is okay and appealing. It shows that the book has some solutions to the health condition mentioned, and it kind of gives hope.

My initial response on seeing the title was that the book offered some hope of a positive treatment for cancer. Cancer can affect so many different parts of the body and there is still so much unknown that I am not sure that anyone is winning at this stage, but it is nevertheless good to acknowledge the ongoing efforts of those who continue to search for a cure.

The title is very apt and attention grabbing, it makes you want to read the book and find out exactly how to win the war on cancer.

I agree because some win some lose. Not all people win to cancer, but maybe the author wanted to make it an happy ending and not sad

Good title assure to attract readers to the book for which they are looking for. There are many people who are suffering or have lost loved ones to cancer, hence the title would catch the attention of many desperate victims and those who are willing to try new methods of fighting cancer.

I think cancer is curable if caught at the beginning stage. It's unable us to think true hope.

Its really one of the complex disease "Cancer"it has taken so much from so many people world wide . The title represent hope to overcome. Hope that we can not only overcome the disease itself, but we can also overcome the losses and pain it causes.
I think the title as befitting and accurate.

Oh! this is a new perspective! I really didn't think about the word "war" when I saw it. As having read the book, I am not now sure if the author meant "war" against cancer itself or the "war" between pharmaceutical and the traditional. I think I'll think more about this. Thanks for this insight! "tiphat:
