Rethinking Cancer Theory: Dr. Chanda Siddoo-Atwal’s Groundbreaking Insights

The International Conference on Cancer Science and Research (November 17–19, 2025, Singapore & Online) will feature a thought-provoking oral virtual presentation by Dr. Chanda Siddoo-Atwal, President and Primary Biochemist of Moondust Cosmetics Ltd., Canada. Her talk, Is Cancer Theory Incomplete?, challenges long-standing assumptions in cancer biology and opens up a new perspective on carcinogenesis.

🌟 Key Takeaways from the Presentation

·         Traditional cancer theory, largely centered on DNA mutations, may not fully explain how all cancers develop.

·         Research shows that uncontrolled apoptosis (programmed cell death) can directly lead to tumor formation.

·         Animal and human studies suggest that increased apoptosis in tissues may accelerate cancer development.

·         Not all carcinogens are mutagens, pointing to alternate pathways in cancer initiation.

·         A proposed two-step apoptotic model highlights:

1.        Initial rise in apoptosis (from genetics, stress, or mutation).

2.        Development of apoptosis resistance, disrupting normal cell balance and fueling abnormal growth.

·         Early findings indicate these steps may be reversible with targeted apoptotic therapies, offering new hope for treatment.
