Abstract
This book explores the new concept of Oncodynamics. It conceptualizes the effects of cancer on the body. The first chapter in the book sets the stage for a disrupted steady-state which is responsible for the genesis of cancer. The subsequent four chapters in this book provide a framework for the physiological changes that occur in the presence of solid tumours. The abnormal secretions of various factors from the cancer cells are largely responsible for physiological changes such as angiogenesis, neurogenesis, inflammation, and lymphedema. Similar effects can also be exasperated by cancer treatments including chemotherapy and radiation.
