Buy in Bulk from Global Academic Supply
Global Academic Supply prices this text at £57.99 per copy for 5+, £55.99 for 10+, and £53.99 for 25+, against a £59.99 list price — a fit for oncology and cancer biology programs equipping multiple students or trainees at once. Orders can run through a purchase order and Net-30 payment terms rather than upfront card billing. Every copy shipped is new, so cohort-wide or department-wide orders arrive as one consistent edition.
About This Edition
Written by Thomas N. Seyfried, PhD (Yale, Boston College), Cancer as a Metabolic Disease challenges the dominant genetic-mutation theory of cancer with a mitochondrial/metabolic origin argument. It is a natural bulk title for cancer biology and oncology programs studying alternative and metabolic approaches to cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who is this book for?
A: Cancer biology, biochemistry, and oncology programs studying the metabolic (mitochondrial dysfunction) theory of cancer origin and management.
Q: What edition and format is this?
A: Hardcover, published by Wiley in 2012.
Q: What does this book argue?
A: That cancer is fundamentally a metabolic disorder driven by mitochondrial dysfunction, expanding on Otto Warburg's energy-metabolism theory and linking it to the modern hallmarks of cancer, with case studies (including brain cancer) presented as proof of principle for metabolic management and prevention strategies.
Q: Is it in stock for a bulk order?
A: Yes, it's currently in stock and available for bulk order.
