What do you think about the Title?

[BeautySuzy]

So inspirational, and I felt like every cancer survivor would feel the same just like they had victory in this war.

I appreciate that the title imparts a sense of hope to the reader. We all need hope, whether the diagnosis comes to us personally or to someone we care about. The title makes me want to hear what the author has to say.

Glad that the title reaches out to you in that way! thanks for your insight!

I can see your perspective on this. The word "winning" may be misleading to a point. However, alternative treatments, though not assured to cure all cancer may have a chance or possibility of helping people suffering from cancer, even to the point of achieving recovery for some I suppose. Maybe this is where cancer can be won.

I think the author wants to give hope that not all is lost and still we can beat cancer. Also, that title is catchy and interesting.

I agree the title is catchy and interesting. And yet, I wouldn't completely opt to title a book as Winning against Cancer especially since it is sensitive issue for many people.

I think the title is a cliche, as the phrase is now so overused (also see e.g. winning the war on drugs / terrorism etc.).

Ah! I see your point! Maybe "winning" doesn't altogether mean banishing or destroying the disease, but in the size of this problem, even small steps are considered a victory already. Thanks for sharing this insight!

It's my first time seeing this title regarding this topic, so I was surprised. But seeing that is indeed common, I guess it wasn't such a big deal after all. thank you for sharing this insight!

I see your point. And yes indeed it is interesting. I mean people can see it as a beacon of hope, but after reading the book, you can also see that most of it are just theories yet to be proven. I thought it was a bit misleading, but i agree that it sounds hopeful enough. Thanks!

I feel that the war against Cancer is fought, typically, on two fronts - firstly, medically, with the disease itself, and secondly, against the powers with vested interests that do not want the disease to be cured. The title of this book, along with the brief, looks to me quite apt since the book seems to be describing the means to win this war.

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 never read it this way, and I'm sorry for your loss. I think the author was just trying to be optimistic - as we all are when it comes to loved ones who have to deal with this horrendous illness.

I think the book title speaks for its self. By merely reading the title, what comes to my mind is a detailed uncommon descriptive appraoch on treating several forms of cancer,. The book title is really captivating!!!

[Mailis]

Yes. I think the title gives out this a little too overconfident vibe. When you have lost someone to cancer, it kind of says that they were the ones that didn't "win".

I was definitely thinking the same thing!

I think the title would make you feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Cancer is a very serious disease, and it is every cancer patient's dream to be told its in remission. That right there is an out-right win against cancer.
