Whether you are a patient newly diagnosed with cancer, a long-term survivor, or a family member or friend of someone with cancer, you will inevitably delve into the current state of cancer care. You may believe that you have chosen the best treatment option available, but you are likely unsatisfied with the outcomes and yearn for better solutions.I initially ventured into the field of biology, driven by a commitment to seek improved treatment options for cancer patients I knew. My non-medical background, coupled with extensive experience in the complex fields of atmospheric science and economics, enabled me to develop a straightforward and practical framework for tackling complex scientific challenges during the process of developing a new drug that aligns with the long-term interests of cancer patients. This framework coincidentally aligns with the innovative thinking behind SpaceX's development of groundbreaking reusable rockets.The complexity of cancer treatment far exceeds that of rocket launches, not because the technology required is more complex, but due to the inherent intricacies of the cancer treatment process itself. However, the paradigm shifts in breaking conventional thinking are remarkably similar in both fields.In economics, there is a fundamental principle that the provision of public goods is inefficient in the absence of direct involvement by stakeholders. Before Elon Musk founded SpaceX, national space launch services were such public goods. The introduction of profit-motivated companies into the space launch market led to a transformative shift in thinking and the emergence of reusable rocket technology.In the realm of cancer care, I have observed that patient involvement is minimal, which may be a contributing factor to the globally low quality of cancer treatment. Drawing a parallel, just as Musk applied first principles to achieve cost-effective space launches, allowing SpaceX to dominate 90% of the global space launch market, similar innovative thinking could revolutionize cancer treatment standards.This book, "Confronting the Cancer Care Plight: Using First Principles to Navigate Your Cancer Journey," is crafted against this backdrop. It encourages cancer patients to actively participate in their treatment process and provides a set of principles based on first principles thinking to help patients achieve the true goal of cancer treatment: to live a high-quality life while effectively combating the disease.
