Our strategic plan is to reduce US cancer deaths from 600,000 in 2021 to 100,000 by
2030. To do so, we must better understand how cancer actually kills people. We conclude
that cancer often kills by promoting marked physiologic instability which disrupts life’s
essential networks and by creating a sense of futility which causes individuals and the
medical system to give up the fight. Other direct mechanisms include hemorrhage, infection, side effects of therapy, central nervous system changes and second tumors.
