Kako spriječiti rak: priručnik za žene i muškarce
Written by a renowned scientist and molecular medicine expert, this is a practical, science-based guide to cancer prevention. Intended for a general audience, the book explains the causes of cancer, risk factors, and strategies for reducing risk.
Pavelić emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet rich in antioxidants (e.g., vitamins C, E, beta-carotene), regular physical activity, avoiding tobacco, and limiting alcohol. He focuses in particular on the role of environmental factors such as chemicals and ionizing radiation, and the importance of early diagnosis through regular screenings, such as tests for breast cancer (BRCA genes) and prostate.
The author emphasizes that 40% of cancer cases can be prevented by applying existing knowledge, especially through health promotion and awareness of risk factors such as obesity and stress. The book also discusses advances in molecular oncology, including research on genes and natural substances (e.g., zeolites) for prevention and treatment. Pavelić's approach combines scientific rigor with simple advice, making the work accessible and useful. This is a key contribution to Croatian medical literature, encouraging readers to be proactive in preserving their health.
